Re: Need help with max/min'ing multiply

I'm going to reformat this in a new manner:

Going to go to the high if as i had before, try all combos, then print highest result.

Then I'll go to the low and do the same with the least. I will repost the reformatted code soon.

Re: Need help with max/min'ing multiply

No need to be haughty; I'm just trying to follow curriculum to the best of my ability. Now I'm going to have to devise a makeshift program over an array or loop. Here's what I have changed, trying every combination possible and printing the actual already-known highest and lowest based on output.

Java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. public class Powers
  2. { 
  3.     public static void main(String[] args){
  4.  
  5.         ConsoleIO console = new ConsoleIO();    
  6.         int input;
  7.         int numOneTensLow = 10;
  8.         int numTwoTensLow = 20;
  9.         int numThreeTensLow = 30;
  10.         int numOneOnesLow = 4;
  11.         int numTwoOnesLow = 5;
  12.         int numThreeOnesLow = 6;
  13.         int numOneTensHigh = 90;
  14.         int numTwoTensHigh = 80;
  15.         int numThreeTensHigh = 70;
  16.         int numOneOnesHigh = 6;
  17.         int numTwoOnesHigh = 5;
  18.         int numThreeOnesHigh = 4;
  19.         int numOneLowOne = numOneTensLow + numOneOnesLow;
  20.         int numTwoLowOne = numTwoTensLow + numTwoOnesLow;
  21.         int numThreeLowOne = numThreeTensLow + numThreeOnesLow;
  22.         int numOneHighOne = numOneTensHigh + numOneOnesHigh;
  23.         int numTwoHighOne = numTwoTensHigh + numTwoOnesHigh;
  24.         int numThreeHighOne = numThreeTensHigh + numThreeOnesHigh;
  25.         int numOneLowTwo = numOneTensLow + numOneOnesLow;
  26.         int numTwoLowTwo = numTwoTensLow + numThreeOnesLow;
  27.         int numThreeLowTwo = numThreeTensLow + numTwoOnesLow;
  28.         int numOneHighTwo = numOneTensHigh + numOneOnesHigh;
  29.         int numTwoHighTwo = numTwoTensHigh + numThreeOnesHigh;
  30.         int numThreeHighTwo = numThreeTensHigh + numTwoOnesHigh;
  31.         int numOneLowThree = numOneTensLow + numTwoOnesLow;
  32.         int numTwoLowThree = numTwoTensLow + numOneOnesLow;
  33.         int numThreeLowThree = numThreeTensLow + numThreeOnesLow;
  34.         int numOneHighThree = numOneTensHigh + numTwoOnesHigh;
  35.         int numTwoHighThree = numTwoTensHigh + numOneOnesHigh;
  36.         int numThreeHighThree = numThreeTensHigh + numThreeOnesHigh;
  37.         int numOneLowFour = numOneTensLow + numTwoOnesLow;
  38.         int numTwoLowFour = numTwoTensLow + numThreeOnesLow;
  39.         int numThreeLowFour = numThreeTensLow + numOneOnesLow;
  40.         int numOneHighFour = numOneTensHigh + numTwoOnesHigh;
  41.         int numTwoHighFour = numTwoTensHigh + numThreeOnesHigh;
  42.         int numThreeHighFour = numThreeTensHigh + numOneOnesHigh;
  43.         int numOneLowFive = numOneTensLow + numThreeOnesLow;
  44.         int numTwoLowFive = numTwoTensLow + numOneOnesLow;
  45.         int numThreeLowFive = numThreeTensLow + numTwoOnesLow;
  46.         int numOneHighFive = numOneTensHigh + numThreeOnesHigh;
  47.         int numTwoHighFive = numTwoTensHigh + numOneOnesHigh;
  48.         int numThreeHighFive = numThreeTensHigh + numTwoOnesHigh;
  49.         int numOneLowSix = numOneTensLow + numThreeOnesLow;
  50.         int numTwoLowSix = numTwoTensLow + numTwoOnesLow;
  51.         int numThreeLowSix = numThreeTensLow + numOneOnesLow;
  52.         int numOneHighSix = numOneTensHigh + numThreeOnesHigh;
  53.         int numTwoHighSix = numTwoTensHigh + numTwoOnesHigh;
  54.         int numThreeHighSix = numThreeTensHigh + numOneOnesHigh;
  55.         int lowproductone = (numOneLowOne * numTwoLowOne * numThreeLowOne);
  56.         int highproductone = (numOneHighOne * numTwoHighOne * numThreeHighOne);
  57.         int lowproducttwo = (numOneLowTwo * numTwoLowTwo * numThreeLowTwo);
  58.         int highproducttwo = (numOneHighTwo * numTwoHighTwo * numThreeHighTwo);
  59.         int lowproductthree = (numOneLowThree * numTwoLowThree * numThreeLowThree);
  60.         int highproductthree = (numOneHighThree * numTwoHighThree * numThreeHighThree);
  61.         int lowproductfour = (numOneLowThree * numTwoLowThree * numThreeLowThree);
  62.         int highproductfour = (numOneHighFour * numTwoHighFour * numThreeHighFour);
  63.         int lowproductfive = (numOneLowFive * numTwoLowFive * numThreeLowFive);
  64.         int highproductfive = (numOneHighFive * numTwoHighFive * numThreeHighFive);
  65.         int lowproductsix = (numOneLowSix * numTwoLowSix * numThreeLowSix);
  66.         int highproductsix = (numOneHighSix * numTwoHighSix * numThreeHighSix);
  67.  
  68.         System.out.println("This program will calculate three two-digit" +
  69.         " numbers that create the lowest and highest possible products " +
  70.         "using the numbers 1 through 9 once in each.");
  71.         System.out.println("To calculate the highest input 1, to calculate" +
  72.         " the lowest, input 0: ");
  73.         input = console.readInt();
  74.  
  75.  
  76.  
  77.         if(input == 0){
  78.         {
  79.             System.out.println(lowproductone);
  80.             System.out.println(lowproducttwo);
  81.             System.out.println(lowproductthree);
  82.             System.out.println(lowproductfour);
  83.             System.out.println(lowproductfive);
  84.             System.out.println(lowproductsix);
  85.         }
  86.         else(input == 1);
  87.                 System.out.println(highproductone);
  88.                 System.out.println(highproducttwo);
  89.                 System.out.println(highproductthree);
  90.                 System.out.println(highproductfour);
  91.                 System.out.println(highproductfive);
  92.                 System.out.println(highproductsix);
  93.             }
  94.  
  95.         }}}}

Right now I'm getting an error for having an "else without if", and was hoping someone could help me out. Thanks for the help. I still need to add the printing of the statement of what the highest/lowest combos actually are, but I'll add it once I get the if statement to work.

Re: Need help with max/min'ing multiply

I hope that you realize that this is wrong:
Java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. if(input == 0){
  2.         {
  3.  
  4.         }
  5.         else(input == 1);
  6.  
  7.             }

You should have this:
Java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. if (input==0) {
  2.  
  3. } else {
  4.  
  5. }
OR:
Java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. if (input==0) {
  2.  
  3. } else if (input==1) {
  4.  
  5. } else {
  6.  
  7. }

No need to be haughty
I think you need to show more courtesy to the fellow who's trying to help for long. You are showing me the same solution here that I had hinted to you ages earlier (take a closer look at my previous posts and try to understand them, cause I know you sure haven't) and that's what I meant from my previous post. I do not know which curriculum you are trying to follow by not taking the hints and not reaching the solution at the earliest.

Re: Need help with max/min'ing multiply

Snobbish remarks with assistance doesn't justify your self-righteousness, veruckt24. I know you're making a conscious decision to help me with this and I am very appreciative, but to become upset over the fact that I didn't take your advice right away on an open forum when I have so many projects moving through me is just plain annoying to me. Thank you for the proper formatting on the if-else statement though. I am sorry I can not determine between a 'good' or 'bad' post, but when changing code you must realize that taking every forum and members thereof in advice can suffice to a mutlitude of mishaps if I were to take everyone's suggestions or changes.

Re: Need help with max/min'ing multiply

I am not even asking you to take my advice and I simply don't need to, I have given it and now it's upto you whether to take it or not. It's not that I am to benefit or something from that. What I just had remarked about was that the solution you told me you were implementing had been hinted by me quiet a while ago already.
To that you replied, that I was being haughty which is certainly not going to liked by anyone as far as I know.

And if it's annoying I wasn't the one requesting for help in the first place. This is complete ingrateful nature which I assume from your bad rep has been already noted by many.
