    Default Java puzzle Help needed

    Write a Program which takes ‘n’ non-zero Integer arguments where n>3.
    You need to use n-1 arguments in the same order to have the result as the nth argument by applying any of the arithmetic operators [ + , - , * , / ].
    Assume all the operators will have same precedence.

    Example 1:
    Given n = 5 numbers are
    1 2 3 4 20
    Solution has to be provided in such a way that output should be as below
    1 * 2 + 3 * 4 = 20

    Example 2:
    Given n = 3 numbers are
    10 2 5
    Solution has to be provided in such a way that output should be as below
    10 / 2 = 5

    The implied question is: will someone do my homework for me. And the implied answer is NO. If you actually wish to learn, then make an attempt and ask a specific question in a new thread should you get stuck along the way, because I am locking this thread.
