Declaring Methods with Multiple Parameters in java

Methods often require more than one piece of information to perform their tasks. We now

consider how to write your own methods with multiple parameters.

use a method called maximum to determine and return the largest of three

double values. In main,

here is the program :

 

import java.util.Scanner;

 

public class Apples {

 

public static void main(String[] args){

Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println("Enter 3 floating point values seperated by spaces");

double number1 = input.nextDouble();

double number2 = input.nextDouble();

double number3 = input.nextDouble();

 

double result = maximum (number1,number2,number3);

System.out.println("maximum is " + result);

 

}

public static double maximum ( double x , double y, double z){

double maximumValue = x;

if (y > maximumValue)

maximumValue = y;

if (z > maximumValue)

maximumValue =z;

return maximumValue;

 

}

}
