    num2 = scan.nextDouble();
    for (double a = num2; a <= num2{
    System.out.println("square of" + a + "is" + Math.sqrt(a));




    if (num1 > num2 && num2< num1){
    System.out.print("The largest number is" + num1);
    }
    else if (num2 > num1 && num1 < num2)
    System.out.print("The largest number is" + num2);
    }

    {
    }

    Please post the output that shows the problem.

    Please Edit your post and wrap your code with[code=java]<YOUR CODE HERE>[/code] to get highlighting

    Where do you change the value of the variable that is controlling the looping?
    If you don't change it then the loop will never end.

    You code contains lot of weird thing i don't know why you are using the for loop and your IF condition is completely weird.
    It seems like you are trying to take two value and wants to display the cube of both the numbers and the largest of the two numbers. You can't do that without using the for loop at all.

    	public static void main(String args[]) {
     
    		double num1;
    		double num2;
     
    		Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
     
    		System.out.println("Please enter 2 numbers:");
    		num1 = scan.nextDouble();
    		System.out.println("cube of" + num1 + "is" + num1 * num1 * num1);
    		num2 = scan.nextDouble();
    		System.out.println("cube of" + num2 + "is" + num2 * num2 * num2);
     
    		if (num1 > num2) {
    			System.out.print("The largest number is" + num1);
    		} else 
    			System.out.print("The largest number is" + num2);
     
    		}
