Can someone explain this code line by line?

the int B is supposed to b

 
public static int gcd(int a, int B)/>
  {
        int gcd;
       while (b != 0)
      {
             int temp = a % b;
             a = b;
             b = temp;
     }
      gcd =  Math.abs(a);
      return gcd;
  }

Yes- B should be lowercased. Also, this sounds like a homework assignment. Is there a specific part you are unsure about? If so, can you talk us through what you do understand, what you think each part does, and what you are unsure about?

Nevermind. Thanks

  { 
        int gcd; 

even if legal because the compiler is smart NEVER NEVER NEVER a good idea to have a method() and a variable with the same name. Here: gcd
It is just make things more confusing
