Tasks with and without asterisks

Codegym you think you're sooooo smart making us include -1 in the summation ;)

So, you want to add -1 as well? Strange if we're breaking when that is entered.

int b = 0; while (true){ int a = Integer.parseInt(bb.readLine()); if (a<=-1){ b = b+a; System.out.println(b); break; } b=b+a; } please cna i get help as to why this SAYS Be sure that the program works correctly with negative numbers.

I use bubble sort algo to order number and then print the middle one

Hi guys! To my mind, the Best way of learning the Codegym course is following. (1) Solve tasks by your own, using the Codegym help section, comments, or even web search - its really ok! Get used to it. (2) After you Verified a task, Download correct solution. >> Push the Help button in the task menu. (3) Correct your own solution in efficient and short way. Actually, it was the best way to correct my code and understand it. Sometimes I had Bullshit-code, dont know how it worked %)))))

I used 3 attempts to understand that in the "Adding" task "<0" and "== -1" are not the same.

Adding was tricky. Used for loop for(;a>0;a++ ) and a= -1 to end the loop. Break didnt work

Could someone please check my code for "Somewhere in the middle"? It outputs the middle number, but when I try to verify I dont pass the "Program should display middle number". Any help would be great! Thanks BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); byte a = Byte.parseByte(reader.readLine()); byte b = Byte.parseByte(reader.readLine()); byte c = Byte.parseByte(reader.readLine()); if ((a<=b && a>=c) || (a>=b && a<=c)){ System.out.println(a); } else if ((b<=a && b>=c) || (b>=a && b<=c)){ System.out.println(b); } else { System.out.println(c); }

Watch out for Q3, the program must include -1 so your output will be 52.

on somewhere in the middle problem I used the Math library, just wondering if thats allowed
