Mody Mada :
I am trying to make a program that print the closest number to zero without using arrays I tried to print the minimum number as it will be the closest number to zero but this doesnot work when one of the numbers is negative
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
int n = in.nextInt();
int t = 0;
int min = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
t = in.nextInt();
if (t < min) {
min = t;
}
}
System.out.println(min);
}
Tim Biegeleisen :
If you want to find the number closest to zero, then you should be checking for the smallest absolute value of the input:
int min = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
for (int i=0; i < n; i++) {
t = in.nextInt();
if (Math.abs(t) < Math.abs(min)) {
min = t;
}
}
Note carefully that we need to use the absolute value on both sides of the inequality.
