Question
Assign to maxSum the max of (numA, numB) PLUS the max of (numY, numZ). Use just one statement. Hint: Call findMax() twice in an expression.
import java.util.Scanner;
public class SumOfMax {
public static double findMax(double num1, double num2) {
double maxVal = 0.0;
// Note: if-else statements need not be understood to
// complete this activity
if (num1 > num2) { // if num1 is greater than num2,
maxVal = num1; // then num1 is the maxVal.
}
else { // Otherwise,
maxVal = num2; // num2 is the maxVal.
}
return maxVal;
}
public static void main(String [] args) {
double numA = 5.0;
double numB = 10.0;
double numY = 3.0;
double numZ = 7.0;
double maxSum = 0.0;
/* Your solution goes here */
System.out.print("maxSum is: " + maxSum);
return;
}
}
Explanation / Answer
public class SumOfMax {
public static double findMax(double num1, double num2) {
double maxVal = 0.0;
// Note: if-else statements need not be understood to
// complete this activity
if (num1 > num2) { // if num1 is greater than num2,
maxVal = num1; // then num1 is the maxVal.
}
else { // Otherwise,
maxVal = num2; // num2 is the maxVal.
}
return maxVal;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
double numA = 5.0;
double numB = 10.0;
double numY = 3.0;
double numZ = 7.0;
double maxSum = 0.0;
/* Your solution goes here */
maxSum = findMax(numA, numB); // first call of findMax
maxSum = maxSum + findMax(numY, numZ); // second call
System.out.print("maxSum is: " + maxSum);
return;
}
}
/*
Output:
maxSum is: 17.0
