public class Practice {
public static void main( String args[] )
{
int lowest= 5;
int sum = 2;
if (lowest>sum){
sum=lowest;
}
System.out.println( lowest );
}
}
From this code I, get 5 but shouldn't I get 2? how should I change the code to make it equal to 2 instead of "sum=lowest;"?
Because assignment is the other way around. It is like:
variable = new value;
So, you want:
lowest = sum;
I'm not sure what you're trying to do, but you never alter the value of lowest, but you assign lowest to sum
Do you mena to print the value of sum ?
If you want 2, just do:
if (lowest>sum){
lowest=sum;
}
Change
if (lowest > sum){
sum = lowest;
}
to
if (lowest > sum){
lowest = sum;
}
if you are trying to get lowest to be equal to 2.
lowest = sum.
by doing "sum = lowest" you are assigning the value of lowest to sum. Assignments work right to left
