Greater number program in Java

In this section you will learn how to find greater number in Java in easy way. We are finding the greater number in program with the help of if else condion.

In this program we are taking the input from the user. We are using scanner function to take the input from user. To take the input from user we will import scanner package in our program.

What is scanner function?

Scanner function is use to take the input from user in java.

How program will work?

• First import the scanner package at top of program.
• Second initialize 2 variable like (a, b).
• Take the input from the user in variable 'a' and 'b'.
• Use "if else" condition to find greater number.
• Finally show the result on output screen.

Program of finding the greater number in Java

	import java.util.Scanner;

	class GreaterNumber
	{
		public static void main(String arg[])
		{
			int a, b;
			Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
			System.out.println("ENTER THE FIRST NUMBER:-");
			a = sc.nextInt();
			System.out.println("ENTER THE SECOND NUMBER:-");
			b = sc.nextInt();
			if(a>b)
			{
				System.out.println(a+" IS GREATER NUMBER.");
			}
			else
			{
				System.out.println(b+" IS GREATER NUMBER.");
			}
		}
	}

Output:

	ENTER THE FIRST NUMBER:- 5
	ENTER THE SECOND NUMBER:- 4
	4 IS GREATER NUMBER.
