Prob 4 ProjectEuler. It does find the correct answer, but I also want the multiples.
I have probably been looking at this code too long and now I am confused. This is Question 4 with ProjectEuler.
I am trying to figure out why minFinal and maxFinal are wrong. The palindromic is correct but I was curious as to what the products were.
Also I do not mind and would very much appreciate if you critique my code and let me know of some annoyances that I can fix.
Java Code:/** *Find the largest palindrome made from the product of two 3-digit numbers. */ public class Prob4_LargestPal { public static void main(String[] args) { PalFinder pf = new PalFinder(); pf.findLargestPal(100, 999); } } class PalFinder { String testString; String LargestPal; void findLargestPal(int min, int max) { int minFinal = 0, maxFinal = 0; int testNum = 0, highest = 0; for(int i = max; i >= min; i--) { for(int ii = max; ii >= min; ii--) { testNum = (ii*i); if(isThisPalindromic(testNum)) { if(testNum > highest) { highest = testNum; minFinal = min; maxFinal = max; } } } } System.out.printf("The largest palindromic # is \n%s with the product of \n%s and %s.", highest, minFinal, maxFinal); } // Method for determining if a number is palindromic with boolean boolean isThisPalindromic(int test) { testString = Integer.toString(test); for(int i = 0; i < (testString.length()/2);i++) { if(testString.charAt(i) != testString.charAt(testString.length() - i - 1)) { return false; } } return true; } }

Re: Prob 4 ProjectEuler. It does find the correct answer, but I also want the multipl
minFinal = min;
maxFinal = max;
minFinal + maxFinal will always be min + max.
you need to use i + ii
