    Default Help with my Range Finder programme

    hi, i'm trying to write a programme that reads two integers, and outputs the sum of all even numbers between that range e.g 10 14 = 36 (10+12+14)

    here is what i have so far, but i have messed up the calculation somewhere, any help would be greatly appreciated, thankyou

    import java.util.Scanner;
     
    public class Rangefinder {
     
         public static void main(String[] args) {
     
             Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
     
            int num1, num2, min, max, amt = 0;
     
            System.out.println("Please enter two integers: ");
            num1 = scan.nextInt();
            num2 = scan.nextInt();
     
            min = Math.min(num1, num2);
            max = Math.max(num1, num2);
     
            for (int x = min; x <= max; x++) {
                amt = amt + x;
            }
            System.out.println(amt);
        }
    }

    You said you wanted to only add even numbers in the range. But you're actually adding all of the numbers in the range.

    Put a print statement inside your loop so you know what's going on. Or better yet, step through the program with a debugger.

    By the way, I've edited your post to include highlight tags. Next time you post code, make sure you use them. Nobody likes reading unformatted code.

    Heh. First moderator action. Neat.
