New to Java - need help with adding many integers with rules such as ...

[MartinRR]

Hi everyone,

The teacher last class was blocking the entire board while speaking so I could not understand the logic be behind where to place certain parts of the code. I will ask him many questions this evening but I need your help please. I was asked to write a basic program with mathematical expressions so I wrote the following:

_____________________________________

public class Assign01 {
public static void main(String[] args) {

int num1=0,num2=0,sumvalue=0,diffvalue=0,productvalue= 0,quotvalue=0,remaindervalue=0;

Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println("Please choose your first number: ");
num1 = sc.nextInt();
System.out.println("Please choose your second number: ");
num2 = sc.nextInt();


sumvalue = num1+num2;
diffvalue = num1-num2;
productvalue = num1*num2;
quotvalue = num1/num2;
remaindervalue = num1%num2

_____________________________________


Under this I wrote "System.out.println ..." to write the answers and explain tips about math.
Can someone explain where can I add something like this?

______________________
int subtract(){

int result;
if (num1 > num2)
result = num1-num2;
else
result = num2-num1;

return result;
______________________

and something like this for division: "divide = if 15 divided by 0 = zero then return the value 0 as a result".


Any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

MartinRR

The method println() will print a line on the console.
System is a class you can read about in the API doc: Java Platform SE 6
Look in the list on the lower left for System. Click it and the doc will be in the right hand frame.
When you read the System class's doc you will see a Field named out.
out is an instance of the PrintStream class.
println() in a member of that class.

To see what this statement does, add some to your code at different places.

Add this following the line where you compute the sum:
System.out.println("sum value=" + sumvalue); // display the sum
