Java Exercises: Accepts two integer values from the user and return the larger values

Java Basic: Exercise-63 with Solution

Write a Java program that accepts two integer values from the user and return the larger values. However if the two values are the same, return 0 and return the smaller value if the two values have the same remainder when divided by 6.
Test Data:
Input the first number : 12
Input the second number: 13
Result: 13
Input the first number : 12
Input the second number: 12
Result: 0
Input the first number : 6
Input the second number: 18
Result: 6

Sample Solution:

Java Code:

import java.util.*;
 public class Exercise63 {
 public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.print("Input the first number : ");
        int a = in.nextInt();  
		System.out.print("Input the second number: ");
		int b = in.nextInt(); 
		System.out.println("Result: "+result(a, b));
    }
	public static int result(int x, int y)
     {  
	if(x == y)
		return 0;
	    if(x % 6 == y % 6)
		    return (x < y) ? x : y;
	    return (x > y) ? x : y;
     }
}

Sample Output: 

Input the first number : 12                                            
Input the second number: 13                                            
Result: 13

Previous: Write a Java program that accepts three integer values and return true if one of them is 20 or more and less than the substractions of others.
Next: Write a Java program that accepts two integer values between 25 to 75 and return true if there is a common digit in both numbers.

Java: Tips of the Day

Execution of console commands:

Java allows you to execute console commands directly from code using a class Runtime. It is very important not to forget about exception handling.

For example, let's try to open a PDF file through a Java terminal:

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
  
public class ShellCommandExec {
  
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    String gnomeOpenCommand = "gnome-open //home//user//Documents//MyDoc.pdf";
  
    try {
      Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
      Process processObj = rt.exec(gnomeOpenCommand);
  
      InputStream stdin = processObj.getErrorStream();
      InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(stdin);
      BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
  
      String myoutput = "";
  
      while ((myoutput=br.readLine()) != null) {
        myoutput = myoutput+"\n";
      }
      System.out.println(myoutput);
    }
    catch (Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}
