Hi.... How do I get the return statement to work in this code?

Question

public class ArrayList {

public static void main(String[]args) {

double[]g={1.9,2.9,3.4,3.5};

double max=g[0];

for (int i=1;i<g.length;i++){

if (g[i]>max)max=g[i];
}
return max;

}

}

Answer 1

public class ArrayList {

public static void main(String[] args) {

double[] g = {1.9,2.9,3.4,3.5};

double max = getMax(g);

System.out.println(max);
}

private static double getMax(double[] nums) {

double max = nums[0];

for (int i = 1; i < nums.length; i++){
if (nums[i] > max) {
max = nums[i];
}
}

return max;
}
}

You are trying to create a method within the main method and return from it, that won't work. Not to mention some formating issues. This should accomplish what you are after.

Answer 2

Try to create variable and put max in it and then u'll could work with your new variable ("return max" -> my_var = max). Also you can wrap your loop into function.

Answer 3

public static void main(String[]args) {

double[]g={1.9,2.9,3.4,3.5};

double var=max ;

double max=g[0];

for (int i=1;i<g.length;i++){

if (g[i]>max)max=g[i];
}
return max;

}

}
I did its returning an error
