Thread: need help with this loop

Im very new at java and this is the last thing i have to finish before get some sleep. I just cant seem to finish the program. The goal is to make a program where the user inputs a number, then recieves the limit, range and sum of the odd numbers that make up the entered number. I have most of it done, i just cant seem to get the program to print the total sum of the odd numbers

 import java.util.Scanner;
 
class Sumoddjkunitz {
	public static void main(String[] args)
			{
       int user1, div;
 
//This tells the user what to do
System.out.println("This program will tell you the sum, limit, and range of odd numbers between 1 and your chosen number");
System.out.println("Please enter the limit number");
 
  Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
  user1 = keyboard.nextInt();
 
//spacer below
 System.out.println("   ");
 
//limit
System.out.print("The Limit of the numbers is ");
System.out.print(user1);
 
//spacer below
 System.out.println("   ");
 
//range
System.out.print("The range of the numbers is ");
System.out.print("1 to ");
System.out.print(user1);
 
//spacer below
 System.out.println("   ");
 
//sum of odd numbers and loop
System.out.print("The sum of the numbers is ");
 
sum = 0;
for (int j = 1; j <= user1; j++) {
    if (j % 2 == 1) {
        sum += i;
    }
}
 
 
       }
			}

You calculate the sum but where do you display it?

By the way, you can make your code more efficient if you change j++ to j += 2 and get rid of the if statement.

<sigh>

Good advice gets ignored again.
