Java conditional statement Exercises: Find the greatest number from three

Sample Solution:

Java Code:

import java.util.Scanner;
public class Exercise3 {

    
  public static void main(String[] args) {
  Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
   
  System.out.print("Input the 1st number: ");
  int num1 = in.nextInt();
   
  System.out.print("Input the 2nd number: ");
  int num2 = in.nextInt();
   
  System.out.print("Input the 3rd number: ");
  int num3 = in.nextInt();
   
   
  if (num1 > num2)
   if (num1 > num3)
    System.out.println("The greatest: " + num1);
   
  if (num2 > num1)
   if (num2 > num3)
    System.out.println("The greatest: " + num2);
   
  if (num3 > num1)
   if (num3 > num2)
    System.out.println("The greatest: " + num3);
 }
}

Sample Output:

Input the 1st number: 25                                                                                      
Input the 2nd number: 78                                                                                      
Input the 3rd number: 87                                                                                      
The greatest: 87

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);
}
