I started studying for an exam and doing some practice programs with methods, and my mind is coming to a blank currently. I would like to know how I can initialize n1, n2, n3, and n4. I set them to 0 but the return statement returned only 0s.
public class LargestOfIntegers2
{
public static int findLargest(int n1, int n2, int n3, int n4)
{
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter the first integer --> ");
n1 = scan.nextInt();
System.out.print("Enter the second integer --> ");
n2 = scan.nextInt();
System.out.print("Enter the third integer --> ");
n3 = scan.nextInt();
System.out.print("Enter the fourth integer --> ");
n4 = scan.nextInt();
if(n1>n2 && n1 > n3 && n1 > n4)
return n1;
else if(n2 > n1 && n2 > n3 && n2 > n4)
return n2;
else if(n3>n1 && n3>n2 && n3>n4)
return n3;
else
return n4;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
int n1, n2, n3, n4;
findLargest(n1, n2, n3, n4);
if(n1>n2 && n1 > n3 && n1 > n4)
System.out.println("Out of the numbers " + n1 + ", " + n2 + ", " + n3 + ", " + n4 + ", the largest integer is " + n1);
else if(n2 > n1 && n2 > n3 && n2 > n4)
System.out.println("Out of the numbers " + n1 + ", " + n2 + ", " + n3 + ", " + n4 + ", the largest integer is " + n2);
else if(n3>n1 && n3>n2 && n3>n4)
System.out.println("Out of the numbers " + n1 + ", " + n2 + ", " + n3 + ", " + n4 + ", the largest integer is " + n3);
else
System.out.println("Out of the numbers " + n1 + ", " + n2 + ", " + n3 + ", " + n4 + ", the largest integer is " + n4);
}
}
