Sample Solution:

Java Code:

import java.util.Scanner;
public class Exercise27 {
 public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.print("Input a number: ");
        int n = in.nextInt();

        if (n > 0)
        {
            System.out.println("Number is positive");
        }
        else if (n < 0)
        {
            System.out.println("Number is negative");
        }
        else
        {
            System.out.println("Number is zero");
        }
    }
}

Sample Output:

Input a number: 7                                                                                             
Number is positive

Previous: Write a Java program to display the following character rhombus structure.
Next: Write a Java program that reads a floating-point number. If the number is zero it prints "zero", otherwise, print "positive" or "negative". Add "small" if the absolute value of the number is less than 1, or "large" if it exceeds 1,000,000.

Java: Tips of the Day

IsPowerOfTwo

Checks if a value is positive power of two.

To understand how it works let's assume we made a call IsPowerOfTwo(4).

As value is greater than 0, so right side of the && operator will be evaluated.

The result of (~value + 1) is equal to value itself. ~100 + 001 => 011 + 001 => 100. This is equal to value.

The result of (value & value) is value. 100 & 100 => 100.

This will value the expression to true as value is equal to value.

public static boolean isPowerOfTwo(final int value) {
    return value > 0 && ((value & (~value + 1)) == value);
}
