import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class GreatestNumber {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int[] num = new int[10];
        int counter;
        int max = 0;
        int totalnumber = 3;

        // Prompt a user to enter numbers
        for(counter = 0; counter < totalnumber; counter++){

            num[counter] = Integer.parseInt
                    (JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter numbers until
" + totalnumber + " numbers are entered"));

            // Compute the greatest number up to this point
            if((counter == 0)||(num[counter] > max))
                max = num[counter];
        }

        // Display the greatest number.
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"The number with the
greatest value is " + max);
    }
    }



from      if((counter == 0)||(num[counter] > max))  if i remove
counter==0 it still finds the max..what is the purpose of having
counter ==0????
