reduce redundancy

I want to make this code shorter but still perform the same way.

Code:

---

                Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
                System.out.print("Enter first number: ");
                if (input.nextInt() > var3) {
                        System.out.print("Enter second number: ");
                        int num2 = input.nextInt();
                        System.out.println("First is greater");
                        if (num2 < var3)
                                System.out.println("Second is Less than");
                        else
                                System.out.println("Second is Greater or equal");
                } else {
                        System.out.print("Enter second number: ");
                        int num2 = input.nextInt();
                        System.out.println("First is Less than or equal");
                        if (num2 < var3)
                                System.out.println("Second is Less than");
                        else
                                System.out.println("Second is Greater or equal");
                }

What you exactly want to do? For me your code is harder to read.

And also what's var3? Where you define it?

sorry, var3 = 5

Just rearrange your code a bit:

Code:

---

               
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter first number: ");
int num1= input.nextInt();
System.out.print("Enter second number: ");
int num2 = input.nextInt();

if (num1 > var3)
        System.out.println("First is greater");
else
        System.out.println("First is Less than or equal");

if (num2 < var3)
        System.out.println("Second is Less than");
else
        System.out.println("Second is Greater or equal");
