Question

Run Rate ( java program)



A vital parameter in the game of Cricket is Run rate. It is vital in the way that it helps the opposition team to plan a chase. Lets write a program to help the teams to compute run rate.


Run rate is the statistical method used to compute the average runs per over that a team scores.

An over is made up of six balls. The runrate can be computed as, Runrate = ( Total runs scored / Total overs faced ).

Run Rate required is the rate at which the chasing team should score their runs to win the match.


Write a program to compute current run rate and the run rate required after a particular over.



Create a main class with the name "Main".


Input and Output Format:

All the inputs are Integer numbers and the Output runrate is a Floating Point number.


[All text in bold corresponds to input and the rest corresponds to output]


Sample Input and Output :

Enter total number of overs :

50

Enter Target Runs :

300

Enter overs bowled :

10

Enter Runs scored :

50

Current Run Rate : 5.0

Run Rate required after 10 overs : 6.25

Answer 1

Solution:

The given co‎de is written in Java.

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Main{

   public static void main(String args[]){

       Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in);

       int overs, runs, overs_bowled, run_scored;

       double current_runrate, next_runrate;

       System.out.print("Enter total number of overs: ");

       overs = sc.nextInt();

       System.out.print("Enter target runs: ");

       runs = sc.nextInt();

       System.out.print("Enter overs bowled: ");

       overs_bowled = sc.nextInt();

       System.out.print("Enter runs scored: ");

       run_scored = sc.nextInt();

       sc.close();

       current_runrate = run_scored / (double)overs_bowled;

       System.out.println("Current run rate: " + current_runrate);

       overs -= overs_bowled;

       runs -= run_scored;

       next_runrate = runs / (double)overs;

       System.out.println("Run rate required after " + overs_bowled + " overs: " + next_runrate);

   }

}

Steps:

1. Accept the total number of overs.
2. Accept the target runs.
3. Accept the number of overs bowled till now.
4. Accept the runs scored till now.
5. Divide the runs scored by overs bowled till now to get the current run rate. Display the result on screen.
6. Subtract overs bowled from total overs. Result is the remaining overs.
7. Subtract runs scored till now from total runs. Result is the remaining runs.
8. Divide the runs remaining by total overs remaining. Result is the next run rate. Display it on screen.
