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???? -- To post to this group, send email to javaprogrammingwithpassion@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to javaprogrammingwithpassion+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/javaprogrammingwithpassion?hl=en
