Getting a loop to add all the columns of an array

Question

I'm trying to take a hardcoded array and print out all the sums of each column. Everytime I try it just prints the first column sum over and over before ending. I do not know what else to add to keep the loop going throughout the entire array.

Heres the code:

public class ClimateChange {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        final int ROWS = 9;
        final int COLUMNS = 12;

        int[][] displaced = {
                {106, 107, 111, 133, 221, 767, 866, 1001, 172, 307, 392, 395},
                {20, 73, 26, 82, 502, 615, 209, 947, 116, 214, 278, 445},
                {163, 203, 276, 308, 172, 246, 354, 118, 123, 310, 146, 152},
                {121, 260, 234, 108, 149, 202, 216, 58, 567, 229, 628, 765},
                {1203, 1274, 1226, 1882, 1072, 1007, 1192, 1395, 123, 310, 146, 152},
                {116, 324, 438, 714, 167, 521, 209, 904, 76, 29, 31, 99},
                {76, 29, 31, 99, 187, 201, 278, 306, 183, 122, 99, 246},
                {109, 104, 121, 13, 121, 69, 246, 100, 123, 161, 69, 246},
                {402, 415, 209, 547, 106, 234, 178, 145, 103, 121, 39, 246}};

        String[] animals = {
                "Cheetah",
                "Tigers",
                "Asian elephant",
                "Vaquita porpoise",
                "Mountain gorilla",
                "Red tuna",
                "Orangutan",
                "Black Rhinos",
                "Dolphins"};

        System.out.println("              Temp        0C      1C      3C      " +
                "5C      7C      9C     28C     32C     36C     38C     42C     45C");

        System.out.println();

        for (int i = 0; i < ROWS; i++) {
            System.out.printf("%20s", animals[i]);
            for (int j = 0; j < COLUMNS; j++) {
                System.out.printf("%8d", displaced[i][j]);
            }
            System.out.println(); // A new line begins at the end of the row.
        }

        int row = 0;
        int col;
        int colSum = 0;

        col = 0;
        for (row = 0; row < displaced.length; row++)
            colSum = colSum + displaced[row][col];
        for (col = 0; col < displaced.length; col++) {
            System.out.println("Animals:  " + colSum);
        }
        System.out.println("               Save our animals, climate change is real!");
    }
}

Everytime I try to use this it just prints the first column sum over and over underneath the printed array.

Solution

You were close, you have to build the sum inside the innerLoop and then print out the sum in the outer loop. Also note that you have to reset it to zero again in the outerloop

for (row = 0; row < displaced.length; row++) {
    colSum = 0;

    for (col = 0; col < displaced.length; col++) {
        colSum = colSum + displaced[row][col];

    }
    System.out.println("Animals:  " + colSum);
    colSum = 0;
}

Code

public class Q {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        final int ROWS = 9;
        final int COLUMNS = 12;

        int[][] displaced = { { 106, 107, 111, 133, 221, 767, 866, 1001, 172, 307, 392, 395 },
                { 20, 73, 26, 82, 502, 615, 209, 947, 116, 214, 278, 445 },
                { 163, 203, 276, 308, 172, 246, 354, 118, 123, 310, 146, 152 },
                { 121, 260, 234, 108, 149, 202, 216, 58, 567, 229, 628, 765 },
                { 1203, 1274, 1226, 1882, 1072, 1007, 1192, 1395, 123, 310, 146, 152 },
                { 116, 324, 438, 714, 167, 521, 209, 904, 76, 29, 31, 99 },
                { 76, 29, 31, 99, 187, 201, 278, 306, 183, 122, 99, 246 },
                { 109, 104, 121, 13, 121, 69, 246, 100, 123, 161, 69, 246 },
                { 402, 415, 209, 547, 106, 234, 178, 145, 103, 121, 39, 246 } };

        String[] animals = { "Cheetah", "Tigers", "Asian elephant", "Vaquita porpoise", "Mountain gorilla", "Red tuna",
                "Orangutan", "Black Rhinos", "Dolphins" };

        System.out.println(
                "              Temp        0C      1C      3C      5C      7C       9C    2  32C     36C      38C     42C     45C");

        System.out.println();

        for (int i = 0; i < ROWS; i++) {

            System.out.printf("%20s", animals[i]);
            for (int j = 0; j < COLUMNS; j++) {
                System.out.printf("%8d", displaced[i][j]);
            }

            System.out.println(); // A new line begins at the end of the row.
        }

        int row = 0;
        int col = 0;
        ;
        int colSum = 0;

        for (row = 0; row < displaced.length; row++) {

            for (col = 0; col < displaced.length; col++) {
                colSum += displaced[row][col];
            }

            System.out.println("Animals:  " + colSum);
            colSum = 0;
        }
        System.out.println("               Save our animals, climate change is real!");

    }
}
