    public class PowerSquare {

    public static void main(String[] args) {


    double num1;
    double num2;
    double num1a;
    double num2a;


    Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);

    System.out.println("Enter 2 numbers");
    num1 = scan.nextDouble();



    for (double i = num1; i <= num1 {
    num1a =(i * i * i);



    num2 = scan.nextDouble();
    num2 = (num2 < 0 ? -num2 : num2);

    for (double a = num2; a <= num2{
    num2a =(Math.sqrt(a));
    num2a =(Math.round(num2a));


    if (num1a > num2a){

    System.out.print(num1a);
    }
    else if (num2a > num1a){

    System.out.print(num2a);
    }
    else if (num2 < 0){

    DecimalFormat fmt = new DecimalFormat("#.##");
    System.out.println(num2a);
    }
    System.exit(0);
    }

    The API is your best friend. Check out the DecimalFormat class.

    One of the aspects of programming newcomers need to learn is to use all resources at your disposal, and this doesn't exclude doing web searches. A quick search turns up lots of useful hits, including the following:

    If you still do not understand, make an effort to write some code, use the API posted above, and post back exactly what about you don't understand.
