A code i cant make work

[Dmitri Makovetskiy]

i succeeded in letting the user put any 10 numbers he wants, but i cant make the application choose which number is the highest and list it...

 import java.io.*;
class Ex4
{
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{       
                       
                       
		int count;
		count=0;
		while(count<10)
		{         
                        System.out.println("put a number");  
                        Console console=System.console(); 
                        String number;
                        number=console.readLine();
                        int n1;
		        n1=Integer.parseInt(number); 
            
                       
                        
                       
                        
                          
                        System.out.println("Your number is"+ " " + n1);
                        
		        count=count+1;
		}
                  
                       
	}




}   

How can i make the program choose the highest input and display it?

Try defining a variable called maxInt and use it to keep track of the biggest number that the user entered. Then print it out at the end.

OP, please see link to FAQ in your other thread.

As mentioned above, you could simply add another variable and let it contain the max value.

eg.

//...
//outside while loop
int maxNum = 0;

//within while loop after n1 parse

if (n1 > maxNum)
    maxNum = n1;


//...

Thats just an example of how to achieve it, but there are other ways that are more refined.

we cant use if variable, we can use trilinear operator.

could you transfer this to a trilinear expression: (i added a max=0 variable above the loop method)
if(n1 > max) {max = n1;}


Edit:

i actually got it..here is the correct expression:

max=(n1>max)?n1:max;

thanks. problem resolved

Probably you should read about the ternary operator first:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/op2.html

Then you should be able to transfer a simple if / else by yourself ... don't you think?

yeah, i just did and yes. i did post a question at yahhoo..

i wouldnt have thought about using a second variable, cause in class we learnt to use only one variable..
