Thread: Output Largest and Smallest Integers using only If statements

delete please

Finding the max using only if statements? That's going to be such a pain and rather impractical (not necessarily the lack of an if-else, but rather the lack of loops or recursion).

Your code almost works, but you must compare for min/max after entering each value rather only at the end. The first number though should automatically be the min/max (you do have that right)

System.out.println("second number: ");
value = input.nextInt();
 
if(value > largest)
{
    largest = value;
}
if(value < min)
{
    min = value;
}
System.out.println("third number: ");
if(value > largest)
{
    largest = value;
}
if(value < smallest)
{
    smallest = value;
}
//... etc, repeat 3 more times
