...Holy crap.  Are my eyes deceiving me, or is that a 99.95 with four subjects?

2007

1955. Paikopoulos, Miltiadis (Xavier College Kew): 2 total
   Accounting: 50
   Mathematics - Mathematical Methods (CAS): 49

WOW!! He must have got the highest aggregate.

That's right, his aggregate was just under 220.

Actually...I'm not quite so sure now.


2008:
5. Hughes, Stephen (Xavier College Kew): 5 total
   Biology: 50
   Chemistry: 49
   English: 50
   LOTE Classical Greek: 49
   Mathematics - Specialist Mathematics: 44

2007:
1069. Hughes, Stephen (Xavier College Kew): 3 total
   LOTE Japanese Second Language: 45
   LOTE Latin: 47
   Mathematics - Mathematical Methods (CAS): 46


Both their aggregates are ~220.
For Stephen Hughes, he didn't need the 49 in Chem and 46 in Methods in his top six

Paikopoulos, Miltiadis

^^^ he got the highest in Vic.

@Excalibur: I cleaned up the source code a little bit and uploaded it: http://www.quppa.net/studyscores.html

Very little documentation, sorry (there's not much code, though). I decided to change it to use hash tables instead of a simple array, which ended up cutting down the processing time from about 1 minute on my machine to about 10 seconds. Great success~ (I still think database queries would be easier...)

Quick skim over the code and it looks like it's better documented than anything I'd do for myself...

(and least you haven't put the entire program on one line or just simply removed all whitespace altogether...)

I'll just use some tools I have to parse the code and give me a class diagram that'll help me make sense of the classes you've used - but I sort of get the gist anyway.

Code: [Select]

public static void readSubjects() throws Exception {

String dataDir = rootdir + year + "\\Subjects";
File subjectDir = new File(dataDir);

// list of subjects
File[] subjectList = subjectDir.listFiles();

subjects = new Subject[subjectList.length];
subjectSchools = new SchoolListHT[subjectList.length];

System.out.println("Reading data files (" + dataDir + ")...");

long startreadtime = System.currentTimeMillis();

for(int i=0;i<subjectList.length;i++) { ... } 

My understanding is that this snippet of code (including the for loop) reads from a folder of source data files and names the Subject based on the file's name which is presumably in the format "Subject Name 3/4", hence:

Code: [Select]


studyName = studyName.substring(0,studyName.length()-4);

I'm curious to know by what method you used to grab the data files off the Herald Sun website? Was it by hand?

I did do it by hand, I'm afraid. It's easily the most tedious part about the whole process, and when I can be bothered I intend to make an automated scraper to do it for me for future years.

I'm not sure if this will interest many people here, but someone kindly sent me data from 1998 and 2000-2005. The archive now contains 10 years' worth of info, which I think is pretty cool.

Now I can forget about this for another year...

Gunna be a major stalkfest with the old data.

Do you have 7-zip or WinRAR installed?
