Question about the task

Fixing the mistakes of youth

Java Syntax, Level 6, Lesson 11

Under discussion

I am receiving the correct answer, but the system does not accept it.:(

package com.codegym.task.task06.task0620; import java.io.BufferedReader; import java.io.IOException; import java.io.InputStreamReader; /* Fixing the mistakes of youth */ public class Solution { public static int max = 100; public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException { BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); String max = "The max is "; int a = Integer.parseInt(reader.readLine()); int b = Integer.parseInt(reader.readLine()); //max = a > b ? a : b; if (a > b) System.out.println(max + a); if (a < b) System.out.println(max + b); } }

hint: for any new person you just have to debug by changing one "max" to make the compiler know which comes first, and which is which.

Thanks:) Strange, I tried before change string name, but it didn't work. This time it worked. Thanks :)

It's simple Laura you need to change a little bit of code in line no 21 that is

max = a > b ? a : b;

max += a > b ? a : b;

because we want to only add the no after "The max is " string. And also need to remove that code

if (a > b)
            System.out.println(max + a);
if (a < b)
            System.out.println(max + b);

in the place of it just write print statment as

System.out.println(max);

I just went and looked at the task. Roman is right, you don't need to rewrite anything, just change a couple of things. Reset the program and start from scratch:

package com.codegym.task.task06.task0620;

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;

/*
Fixing the mistakes of youth

*/

public class Solution {
    public static int max = 100;

    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));

        String max = "The max is ";       // Change this to maxi or something
        int a = Integer.parseInt(reader.readLine());
        int b = Integer.parseInt(reader.readLine());
        max = a > b ? a : b;

        System.out.println(max + max);    // Change this to (maxi + max) or
    }                                    // whatever you changed the variable name

}

public class Solution { // public static int max = 100; public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException { BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); // String max = "The max is "; int a = Integer.parseInt(reader.readLine()); int b = Integer.parseInt(reader.readLine()); //maxs = a > b ? a : b; if (a > b) System.out.println("The max is " + a); if (b > a) System.out.println("The max is " + b); } } doesn't working :(

This task passes validation if nothing has changed, except the name of a string variable.

Dear colleagues, space is already added in the "String max = "The max is "; " Tried to rename: maxs = a > b ? a : b; System.out.println(max + maxs); but received an error. When I''m run this program I received an answer "The max is 23" (15 23 number has been provided).

You don't need this line:

public static int max = 100;

and you don't need this line:

String max = "The max is ";

just have something like:

if (a > b)
   System.out.println("The max is " + a);
if (b > a)
   System.out.println("The max is " + b);

...as a variant? Solution.max = a > b ? a : b; System.out.println(max + Solution.max); (passed the validation)

Task: The program takes two numbers from the keyboard and displays the maximum using a phrase like "The max is 25". Requirements:

In this task, you need to correct an error that has the same name for different variables. So just rename one of them. And no more changes in the source code.

i think there should be a space between max and a variable
