Thread: Hi everyone-new here!!!i need some help:]

Hi, i am a beginner in java and i need some help.
my program should take 2 integers and find their range and output the biggest number(sum of his chars)
btw i dont have compile error but after i put the integer nothing come out from my methods.
sorry for my bad english and thanks for any help

String number1=JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null,"enter first number");
		int intnum1=Integer.parseInt(number1);
		String number2=JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null,"enter second number");
		int intnum2=Integer.parseInt(number2);
		JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"the sum of the biggest number is"+range(intnum1,intnum2));
	}
		public static int range(int num1,int num2) {
			int l=0;
			if (num1>num2) {
			int temp=num2;
		    num2=num1;
		    num1=temp;}
		for (int i=num1;num1<=num2;i++){
			int sum=0;
			while (i!=0) {
				sum+=i%10;
				i=i/10;
			}
			l=m(sum);
 
 
		}return l;}
		public static int m(int sum){
			 int count=0;
			if (sum>=count) count=sum;
 
		return count;}

for example if i put 10 and 20.
it will output 19.since 19 is the biggest number from 10 to 20.
the sum of his digits i mean

for example i put 10 and 20.i check the range of the numbers from 10 to 20 include.
and i need to output the number that his sum of his digits is the highest from all the numbers from 10 to 20.

--- Update ---

19 is 9+1=10
and 10 is the biggest sum of digits from 10 to 20.

it doesnt work for me;/
but why cant i do this with the m(sum) method.it should work and i dont have compile error
but something isnt work out.
thanks anyway

thanks a lot

--- Update ---

i tried what you suggest me to do .and got rid of the m method .but i got red mark under the return count,
how can i solve it?thanks again

		for (int i=num1;num1<=num2;i++){
			int sum=0;int count=0;
			while (i!=0) {
				sum+=i%10;
				i=i/10;
			}
			if (sum>=count) count=sum;
		}return count;}
