text: Hi all. Your's truly here again. :cool: Hope everyone is doing well. Alas, I'm having trouble pointing out what I'm doing wrong here with this little program I'm writing for class. What I need to do is ask the user to input numbers, store them in an array of ten, and then display the largest one. Simple enough I thought. But when I run my program, it just keeps displaying '2' as the largest entry no matter what. I was really happy with the speed at which the code poured out of my n00b brain that I'm really disappointed it's not working. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
  Code :
  import javax.swing.JOptionPane; public class PeerProgram3 { public static void main(String[] args) { final int TOTAL = 10; String input; String newInput; int[] numbers = new int[TOTAL]; JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"I'm going to ask you to input 10 numbers."); input = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please enter a number:"); for (int index = 1; index < TOTAL; index++) { newInput = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please enter another number"); numbers[index] = Integer.parseInt(newInput); } int highest = numbers[0]; for (int index = 1; index < TOTAL; index++) { if (numbers[index] > highest) highest = numbers[index]; JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "The highest number you entered is " + highest + "."); System.exit(0); } }
