How to correct this code?
Description of the program: read a sequence of positive integers from terminal. When user types

import java.util.Scanner;
public class test
{
public static int num;
public static void main (String[] args)
{
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
num = in.nextInt();

Re: How to correct this code?
What does this program do? What do you expect it to do? What happened when you stepped through it line-by-line to figure out when its execution differs from your expectation?

i get "the largest number is" only when i type -1 in the beginning but it should be displayed anytime i type -1 to bring up the largest number i previously entered.
Re: How to correct this code?
What happened when you stepped through this code with a debugger, or at least added some print statements? When does the execution of this code differ from what you expect it to do?

Re: How to correct this code?
im a beginner but when i ran the code it lets me input numbers right. so i want to enter as many numbers, and then when i type -1 the program should give me the largest number in the sequence. right now it only gives me largest number when i first and only type in -1. this is not what i want.
Re: How to correct this code?
Right, you have to debug this code. That's what you're asking us to do, and it's something you have to get into the habit of doing.
You do that by tracing through the code, either with a piece of paper and a pencil, or with a debugger, or just by adding print statements. Go through each line and figure out what you expect it to do, then figure out what it's actually doing. One of those lines isn't doing what you think it's doing, and you have to narrow it down to figure out which one it is.
Hint: when do you read in the second number?
