How to get my array to start at element zero but call it element 1

[MichaelCJ10]

I have created a program to display salarys, calculate a bonus payment and display total. Wages and total are my two arrays.
My problem is, when i run the program, my element starts at 0.i need it to start at one but it cant skip the first value in my array wages.

it is currently like this
0
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9

i need it to display and the 10 salaries in there,it cant skip any.

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9

public class Salary
{

    //main method

    public void calcSalary()
    {
        //My first array to store original salary
        //My second array is total[] to store total
        //Variables are bonus and my counter    

        double wages[]={56600,40000,30000,20320,10000,60000,35055,46000,23000,19000};

        final int TOTAL_LENGTH=10; //declare constant
        double total[]=new double[TOTAL_LENGTH];
        double bonus;
        int counter;


        //Prints out headings for my columns and my original salary and each person,0-9.


        System.out.printf("\n%s\t\t%s\n\n","REP","SALARY");

        for (counter=0; counter <total.length; counter++)

        System.out.printf("%d\t\t%.2f\n",counter, wages[counter]);


        //Sets my counter to zero and prints column headings

        counter=0;

        System.out.printf("\n\n\n%s\t%s\t%13s\n\n","REP","BONUS","TOTAL"); 


            //My while does the calculations and then displays the bonus in one column, and the total in another.
            //So long as my counter is less than total arrays length.

            while (counter<total.length)
            {


                //My if statements do the calculations to get the total based
                //On how much each person earns.

                if (wages[counter]<=19000)
                {


                    bonus=(double)wages[counter]/100*30;
                    total[counter]=(double)wages[counter]+bonus;
                    System.out.printf("%s\t%.2f\t\t%.2f\n",counter,bonus,total[counter]);


                }


                if (wages[counter]>19000 && wages[counter]<=40000)
                {

                    //Less than or equal to 40 k gets a 20% Bonus

                    bonus=(double)wages[counter]/100*20;
                    total[counter]=(double)wages[counter]+bonus;
                    System.out.printf("%s\t%.2f\t\t%.2f\n",counter,bonus,total[counter]);


                }


                if (wages[counter]>40000)
                {

                    //More than 40 k Gets a 10% Bonus

                    bonus=(double)wages[counter]/100*10;
                    total[counter]=(double)wages[counter]+bonus;
                    System.out.printf("%s\t%.2f\t\t%.2f\n",counter,bonus,total[counter]);


                }




                    //After each iteration, add one to counter

                    counter=counter+1;






            }//Ends my while



    }



 }

The array has to display 1-10 i mean rather than 0-9

Add +1 to counter when printing

[MichaelCJ10]

You mean before my while statement does my calculation? That would mean it will skip my first value in my array wages and ignore it won't it?

[zeroliken]

no, I meant at those printf statements only

[MichaelCJ10]

Nope that messes it up . It has to have something to do with my array totals length

[zeroliken]

I meant like this:

System.out.printf("%d\t\t%.2f\n",counter + 1, wages[counter]);

and next time wrap your code between

tags so I can tell exactly which line I needed to point out

[MichaelCJ10]

No problem will do!

Yeah that worked perfect! So obvious no i look at it!! :(

Thanks very much i don't think i would have noticed that fair play
