I need to display the values entered by the user in the Names array and the Salary array. However, I only need to display the Employee name and Salary if it is over the average. The problem I am having is that it runs the program fine but doesn't compare Salary to Average.

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.text.DecimalFormat;


public class Salaries
{
   public static void main(String [] args)
   {
      int numEmployees; //number of employees
      String[] Names; //array to store names
      int[] Salary; //array to store salaries
		double Average=0.0;  //Average of Salary
	
		//Creates new scanner object
      Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
		
		//Create decimal format object
		DecimalFormat formatter = new DecimalFormat("#0.00");

   	//User enteres numbers of employees to size array  
	   System.out.print("How many employees will you be entering? ");
      numEmployees = keyboard.nextInt();

      //Create the size of the arrays for Names and Salary
      Names = new String[numEmployees];
      Salary  = new int[numEmployees];

		//for loop to run the array filler
      for (int i = 0; i < numEmployees; i++)
      {

         System.out.print("Enter employee #" + (i + 1) + "'s name: ");
         Names[i] = keyboard.next(); //gets the name

			System.out.print("Enter employee #" + (i + 1) + "'s salary: ");
      	Salary[i] = keyboard.nextInt(); //gets the salary

			//Validation for Salary input
			while (Salary[i] < 0)
			{
    		     System.out.print("Enter employee #" + (i + 1) + "'s salary: ");
      		  Salary[i] = keyboard.nextInt(); 
			}
			
			//Calculates average		
			Average = Average + Salary[i];
      }
	
	System.out.println("The Average is: " + formatter.format(Average/numEmployees));
		  
		 
		 //Display Employees and Salary
		 for (int i = 0; i < numEmployees; i++)
		  {
		   		if (Salary[i] > Average)
					{		
					System.out.println("Name        Salary");
		   		System.out.println(Names[i] +  Salary[i]);
					}
		  }		
		  
		  
		  
		  }

}

you are calculating average incorrectly

this is wrong

//Calculates average		
Average = Average + Salary[i];

you need something like this in its place

int totalSalaries;

//now your for loop here


//Calculates average		
totalSalaries= totalSalaries+ Salary[i];


//then after your for loop
//We can calculate average
Average = totalSalaries / numEmployees;
