Here is my code for a homework assignment to work with an array of random numbers. I am using JCreator. The file compiles just fine. But when I execute, I only get the min and max. I also want to print the array. (It printed fine until I added the search for the min and max. Any help will be appreciated.

import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.*;


public class HoorayArray


{
public static void main(String [] args){
int maxcrazy = Integer.parseInt(JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter an integer between 50 and 500"));
//if
//crazy>=50;
//crazy<=500;{
int maxmax = 0;
int minmin = maxcrazy;
int Arr1[] = new int[10];
Random gen1 = new Random();
for (int crazy=0; crazy<10; crazy++)
{
Arr1[crazy] = gen1.nextInt(maxcrazy);

System.out.println("Number ["+crazy +"] is " + Arr1[crazy ]);
{

//find min and max

for (crazy = 0; crazy < Arr1.length; crazy++)
if (maxmax < Arr1[crazy])
maxmax = Arr1[crazy];
System.out.println("The maximum value is " + maxmax);

for (crazy = 0; crazy < Arr1.length; crazy++)
if (minmin > Arr1[crazy])
minmin = Arr1[crazy];
System.out.println("The minimum value is " + minmin);


}
//}
//else
//{
//JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Let's keep it simple. /nEnter an integer between 50 and 500", "Message", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);
//}
}

}

Please paste your code like this:

why do people pass by Anchorage to go from LA to Vegas ?

import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.*;


public class HoorayArray


{
	public static void main(String [] args){
	int maxcrazy = Integer.parseInt(JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter an integer between 50 and 500"));
	int maxmax = 0;
	int minmin = maxcrazy;
// now if you prompt the user for a number maybe it will be a good idea to use that number to create the array
//	int Arr1[] = new int[10];
	int Arr1[] = new int[maxcrazy];
	Random gen1 = new Random();
//	for (int crazy=0; crazy<10; crazy++)
// init all elements of the array
//  find if new max and/or new min
	for (int crazy=0; crazy<maxcrazy; crazy++)
	{
	 Arr1[crazy] = gen1.nextInt(maxcrazy);
	 System.out.println("Number ["+crazy +"] is " + Arr1[crazy ]);

	 //find min and max
	 if (maxmax < Arr1[crazy])
	 	maxmax = Arr1[crazy];
	 if (minmin > Arr1[crazy])
	 	minmin = Arr1[crazy];
	 			 
                 }
      System.out.println("Max: " + maxmax + " Min: " + minmin);
}
	
}

I would only say - you have a problem with validation. With a little fix your code would look like:

import java.util.Random;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class hooray {
	private static final int max = 500;
	private static final int min = 50;

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		int 
			maxcrazy = Integer.parseInt(
					JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter an integer between 50 and 500")
			), 
			maxmax = Integer.MIN_VALUE, 
			minmin = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
		Random gen1 = new Random();
		
		if (maxcrazy > max || maxcrazy < min) {
			System.out.println("Crazy number");
			System.exit(1);
		}

		// now the size has been validated, it is a good idea to create the array
		int Arr1[] = new int[maxcrazy];

		// init all elements of the array and find if new max and/or new min
		for (int crazy = 0; crazy < Arr1.length; crazy++) {
			Arr1[crazy] = gen1.nextInt(maxcrazy);
			System.out.println("Number [" + crazy + "] is " + Arr1[crazy]);

			// find min and max
			if (maxmax < Arr1[crazy])
				maxmax = Arr1[crazy];
			if (minmin > Arr1[crazy])
				minmin = Arr1[crazy];
		}
		System.out.println("Max: " + maxmax + " Min: " + minmin);
	}
}

Thats so helpful. Both of you make the programming much clearer. Also, I see what you mean about going to Anchorage, although, I do have family there. And I wasn't in that big of a hurry. And I never really understood the directions for getting to Vegas. And I only had pieces of a map.
