Question

I\'m trying to get the highest and lowest numbers entered by the user. The code below seems to be mostly working but I can\'t seem to get the right number for the lowest val

Answer 1

What is the purpose of A? You're not modifying lowest either. You're close, try this:

num = ...
if ( num > max ) max = num;
if ( num < min ) min = num;

System.out.println("Highest: " + max);
System.out.println("Lowest: " + min);
