Question

Simplify the following piece of code: (java)

if (a>b)
x = a + b;
if (a>0)
x = a + b;

Answer 1

We can simplify these statements as :

if a>b OR a>0 then x=a+b

import java.util.Scanner;
public class simplify {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
       System.out.println("Enter value of a");
       float a=scanner.nextFloat();
        float x=0;
        System.out.println("Enter value of b");
        float b=scanner.nextFloat();

        if((a>b)||(a>0)){
            x=a+b;
        }
     System.out.println("Value of x= "+x);
    }
}
