Thread: please help.

How can I determine the highest odd and even numbers here??


"package oddevn;

import java.util.*;

public class OddEvn {

public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner con = new Scanner(System.in);

int number = 0;
int odd=1; /not used dunno where exactly to put this
int even=0; /not used dunno where exactly to put this


System.out.print("Enter number: ");
number = con.nextInt();

System.out.print("Enter number: ");

number = con.nextInt();
System.out.print("Enter number: ");
number = con.nextInt();

System.out.print("Enter number: ");
number = con.nextInt();

System.out.print("Enter number: ");
number = con.nextInt();

if (number % 2 == 0) {
System.out.println("Even number is :" + number);
} else {
System.out.println("Odd number is :" + number);
}
}
}"



please feedback.

int highestOdd = Integer.MIN_VALUE;
if (number is odd and number > highestOdd) {
highestOdd = number;
}

System.out.println("The highest odd number is :" + highestOdd);

Pretty simple!
