Question

6.12 LAB: Max magnitude

Write a method MaxMagnitude with two integer input parameters that returns the largest magnitude value. Use the method in a program that takes two integer inputs, and outputs the largest magnitude value.

Ex: If the inputs are 5 7 , the method returns:

7

Ex: If the inputs are -8 -2, the method returns:

-8

Note: The method does not just return the largest value, which for -8-2 would be -2. Though not necessary, you may use the absolute-value built-in math method.

Your program must define and call a method:

public static int MaxMagnitude(int userVal1, int userVal2)

Answer 1

import java.util.Scanner;

public class MaxMagnitude {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
       Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
       int n1=sc.nextInt();
       int n2=sc.nextInt();
       System.out.println(maxMagnitude(n1,n2));
   }

   private static int maxMagnitude(int n1, int n2) {
       //finding absolute values for 2 input params
       // so if any negative number comes it will make as positive
       n1=Math.abs(n1);
       n2=Math.abs(n2);
       return (n1>n2)?n1:n2;
   }
}
