Answer 1

Here is something that i did...

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class NearestNumber {

public static void main(String[] arg)
{
    int[] array={100,-3420,3040,400433,500,-100,-200,532,6584,-945};

    String myNumberString =JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null,"Enter the number to test:");
    int myNumber = Integer.parseInt(myNumberString);

    int nearestNumber = findNearestNumber(array,myNumber);

    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"The nearest number is "+nearestNumber);
}

public static int findNearestNumber(int[] array,int myNumber)
{

    int min=0,max=0,nearestNumber;

    for(int i=0;imin)
            {
                min=array[i];
            }
        }
        else if(array[i]>myNumber)
        {
            if(max==0)
            {
                max=array[i];
            }
            else if(array[i]

}
