Most of my code works when executed except for the Min and Max calculations

Everything works exactly like its suppose to but when its suppose to show the max and min values out of the 3 numbers, it just returns 0.

Where does the code set the value of the variables to the max or min values?
Is the code where that happens executed?
Add a call to the println method to print a message when the methods are executed to see if they are in fact executed. If nothing prints, that would say the method is NOT executed. If the method is not executed the values of the variables won't be changed.

yes it executes but it just says the min value is 0 and the max value is 0

**Norm** · December 5th, 2012, 04:27 PM

Did you add the println call in the methods where the min and max variables are given values?
Was anything printed?
If nothing prints, that would say the method is NOT executed. If the method is not executed the values of the variables won't be changed and will still be 0.

even with the println call it still says the max and min are both 0.

The println statements won't change the values of min and max. They are to tell you if the methods are executed.

it printed "The smallest value is 0" for the min and "The largest value is 0" for the max.

Did you add some new printlns to all the methods as I requested earlier in post#2?

Did any of them print out a message?

Add this to all the methods in the code:

System.out.println("in <name of method here> ");

**Baboop** · December 5th, 2012, 05:00 PM

i only added the println to the min and max because those are the only two that aren't working properly.

Please post the code that shows where you added the new println statements.
