Question about the task

Maximum of entered numbers

Java Syntax, Level 4, Lesson 5

Under discussion

Hello! Please help me solve it, I'm stuck, I can't do it myself...

The program must read integers from the keyboard until something else is entered, such as a string or a character. Display the maximum even number entered. If several numbers are entered, you must display any of them.

Example input:

Example output:
8

Requirements:

The program should read numbers from the keyboard.
The program should display a number on the screen.
The program should display the maximum even number of the integers entered.
If several maximum even numbers are entered, then you need to display any one of them.
If there is no even number among the entered characters, or only one non-numeric character is entered, then display the minimum possible value for an int.
You need to read data from the keyboard in a while loop.

package en.codegym.task.pro.task04.task0408; import java.util.Scanner; /* Maximum of entered numbers */ public class Solution { public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in); int max = 0; int num = 2; while (console.hasNextInt()) { int x = console.nextInt(); if((x % 2) == 0) x = max; if (x > max) max = num; } System.out.println(max); } }

As already said before, your little notes like 'Nothing changed...' are not helpful at all. Why not posting code and a more elaborate description of what is not working. Maybe the requirement still failing or other helpful hints?

Hmm, this is a very precise description. Why not posting code and a more elaborate description of what is not working. Maybe the requirement still failing or other helpful hints? Ahh, and I forgot to point out that initalizing max with 0 only works if at least one of the inputs is greater than 0. So you have to come up with another idea here.

just some minor corrections are necessary

while (console.hasNextInt()) {
    int x = console.nextInt();
    if (x % 2 == 0 && x > max) { // or vice versa
        max = x;
    }
}
