As another example to illustrate the use of
methods, let’s suppose we’d like to write a program that determines which of
two user-entered values is largest.
The main method will take care of prompting the user for values, and
we’ll have a method called max,
which returns the largest of 2 integers that are
passed as arguments. To determine the
largest, max compares the parameters and returns the right variable
according to the result of the comparison. public
class MoreMethods { public
static void main(String[] args) { Scanner
input = new Scanner(System.in); //
obtain two values – missing an output statement int num1 = input.nextInt(); int num2 = input.nextInt(); //
invoke max and save result in ‘largest’ int largest = max(num1, num2); System.out.println(largest + “ is the maximum.”); } public
static int max(int a, int b) { if
(a > b) return
a; else return
b; } } |
