Everything works correctly , however does not meet the requirement. Could someone point my error please?

Write a program that:
1. reads a number N (must be greater than 0) from the console
2. reads N numbers from the console
3. Displays the maximum of the N entered numbers.

Requirements:

The program should read the numbers from the keyboard.
The program must display a number on the screen.
The class must have a public static void main method.
Don't add new methods to the Solution class.
The program should display the maximum of the N entered numbers.
The program should not display anything if N is less than or equal to 0.

package com.codegym.task.task05.task0532; import java.io.*; /* Task about algorithms */ public class Solution { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); int maximum = 0; for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) { int temp = Integer.parseInt(reader.readLine()); maximum = temp > maximum ? temp : maximum; } System.out.println(maximum); } } // int min = 0; // BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); // try { // for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) { // int temp = Integer.parseInt(reader.readLine()); // min = temp < min // ? temp // : min; // } // } catch (IOException e) { // e.printStackTrace(); // } // System.out.println("Minimum = " + min); //}

Take the first number as maximum and compare every other number with it. You have taken "0" as the maximum. What if the input contains all negative numbers? You must accommodate that situation also. Hope everything is clear.

solution

First you need to read a number from the console outside the loop. This way you get the number of times you want your loop to iterate.

int aNumber = Integer.parseInt(reader.readLine());

for (int i = 0; i < aNumber; i++) {
// keep reading numbers
}
