need help for the If condition.

[Joy Vergis]

Hi,


I get the output for the below program as
The value of a:0

class Test{
static int a,b;
public static void main(String[] args)
        {
        //System.out.println("The value of a:" +a);
        //System.out.println("The value of a:" +b);
        if (a<b)
        System.out.println("The value of a:" +a);
                else
                System.out.println("The value of a:" +b);
        }
//System.out.println("No one is greater or lesser");
}

The default value for int types is 0. So why i get output for only a.

Did you notice in your program- Both the statements print the same message

[Rob Spoor]

a and b are both 0. That means that a<b is false, so the else statement is executed. And although you're printing the value of b (0) you say it's the value of a. Just check the String.>

hello,

Change "a" in line 9 to "b" :

System.out.println("The value of a:" +b);   

to

System.out.println("The value of B:" +b);
