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
