Activity 1: Obtaining the Minimum of Two Numbers

Solution

1. Declare 3 double variables: a, b, and m. Initialize them with the values 3, 4 and 0 respectively

   double a = 3;
   double b = 4;
   double m = 0; // variable for the minimum

2. Create a String variable r, it should contain the output message to be printed.

   // string to be printed
   String r = "The minimum of numbers: " + a + " and " + b + " is ";

3. Use the min() method to obtain the minimum of the two numbers and store the value in m.

   // mathematical operation
   m = Math.min(a,b);

4. Print the results.

   System.out.println(r + m); // print out the results
