Why do Min & Max show up as 0 in this array? I tried to figure it out for a while now but I couldn’t wrap my head around it.
public class Main
{
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner input=new Scanner(System.in);
int n=input.nextInt();
int []x=new int[n-1];
random(x);
sizeArray(x);
System.out.println("The min is "+ min(x));
System.out.println("The max is "+ max(x));
System.out.println("The Total is "+ getTotal(x));
}
public static int random(int[]x){
Random rand=new Random();
for (int i = 0; i < x.length; i++) {
x[i]=rand.nextInt(101);
}
return 0;
}
public static int sizeArray(int []x){
for (int i = 0; i < x.length; i++) {
System.out.println(x[i]);
}
return 0;
}
Here is the ‘min’.
public static int min(int[]x){
int min=0;
for (int i = 0; i < x.length; i++) {
if(x[i]<min){
min=x[i];
}
}
return min;
}
And the ‘max’ I am not sure what the issue is.
public static int max(int[]x){
int max=0;
for (int i = 0; i < x.length; i++) {
if(x[i]>max)
x[i]=max;
i++;
}
return max;
}
public static int getTotal(int[]x){
int total=0;
for (int i = 0; i < x.length; i++) {
total=total+x[i];
}
return total;
}
}```
||SOLVED|| Changed min and max and also added maximum(x); minimum(x); in main while removing ^^ System.out.println(“The min is “+ min(x)); ^^ ^^ System.out.println(“The max is “+ max(x));.^^
import java.util.*;
public class Main
{
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner input=new Scanner(System.in);
int n=input.nextInt();
int []x=new int[n];
random(x);
sizeArray(x);
maximum(x);
minimum(x);
System.out.println("The Total is "+ getTotal(x));
}
public static int random(int[]x){
Random rand=new Random();
for (int i = 0; i < x.length; i++) {
x[i]=rand.nextInt(101);
}
return 0;
}
public static int sizeArray(int []x){
for (int i = 0; i < x.length; i++) {
System.out.println(x[i]);
}
return 0;
}
|Changed max|
public static void maximum(int x[]) {
int max = x[0];
for (int i = 1; i < x.length; i++) {
if (x[i] > max) {
max = x[i];
}
}
System.out.println("maximum is:" + max);
}
|And changed min|
public static void minimum(int x[]) {
int min = x[0];
for (int i = 1; i < x.length; i++) {
if (x[i] < min) {
min = x[i];
}
}
System.out.println("minimum is:" + min);
}
public static int getTotal(int[]x){
int total=0;
for (int i = 0; i < x.length; i++) {
total=total+x[i];
}
return total;
}
}

Answer
Here you are probably setting every element in the array to 0. And in any case, max is always going to return 0
public static int max(int[]x){
int max=0;
for (int i = 0; i < x.length; i++) {
if(x[i]>max)
x[i]=max;
i++;
}
return max;
}
And here, you are starting with min = 0 (which isn’t necessarily a value in the array) and since all the values are greater than 0, the return value is 0.
public static int min(int[]x){
int min=0;
for (int i = 0; i < x.length; i++) {
if(x[i]<min){
min=x[i];
}
}
return min;
}
And honestly, it would have been very easy or you to figure this out if you’d used the debugger to step through your functions. Learning how to use a debugger is an invaluable skill!
