Thread: Help

I'm trying learn how to use methods, what I'm doing is I want to separate 2 numbers inside an array using methods, but i keep getting the same first number. can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong here, thank you
here is my code:

public static void main(String args[]) {
        int input;
 
        System.out.print("Enter a number: ");
        input = console.nextInt();
         int[] series = {input};
         int[] series2 = {input};
   for (int i = 0; i < series.length; i++ ) {
        series[i] = separate(series[i]);     //separate first digit
        series2[i] = separate2(series[i]);  // separate second digit
        System.out.println(series[i] + " " + series2[i]);
    }
 
    }
 
    public static int separate(int n) { //this suppose to get the 1st digit of the number
        int result = n;
        result = result / 10;
 
        return result;
    }
      public static int separate2(int x) { //this suppose to get the 2nd digit of the number
       int result2 = x;
       result2 = result2 % 10;
 
        return result2;
    }

output:
Enter a number: 65
6
6<<< this should be 5

i keep getting the same first number

Can you copy and paste here the contents of the console that shows what you are talking about?
Add some comments describing the problem.

Ok, that's a start.
Now please add comments to the output saying what is wrong with it.
For example:
line 1
line 3 <<<<< this should say line 2
line 3

Try debugging the code to see if you can find the problem.

Add some print statements that show the values of the variables as they are used and changed.
For example print the values passed to each of the methods: n and x so you can see what values the methods are receiving.
Seeing those values will help you find the problem.

You are taking wrong parameter for series2[i].

series[i] = separate(series[i]);     //separate first digit
series2[i] = separate2(series[i]);  // separate second digit

Should be

series[i] = separate(series[i]);
series2[i] = separate2(series2[i]);  // correct

@John Joe - You could have let the OP try debugging the code before giving the answer.
Can you explain to the OP how you found the problem?

It's important to know how to debug code and find the problem by yourself.

i tried but i think I'm missing something

Please post the code that shows what you did and why you think you are missing something.
