Re-type the code and fix any errors. the code should convert non-positive numbers to 1.

Question

Problem:

Hello all,
I am a noob to this java programming. I started learning it a few days back. Re-type the code and fix any errors. the code should convert non-positive numbers to 1. As long as I understand this problem is sying to convert a negative number to positive. So, I am struggling with a problem like converting a negative number to 0 or 1 in my program. I’ve got a shallow concept in my mind but that’s not enough for my case. If your understanding is up to this level, please pull me up from the grave LOL.

Thanks.

Hello Gavin,

You’ve asked an interesting but very basic question. No shame! I appreciate your asking. You can solve this problem by using an if-statement in your program. If-else will check your number and then return it as you wanted. Let’s start:

public class NegToPos {
    public static void main (String [] args) {
        int Num = 0;
        if (Num >= 0)
            System.out.println("It's a non negative number");
        else{
            System.out.println("It's a negative nummber; now converting to 1");
            Num = 1;
            System.out.format("Final: %d", Num);
            System.out.println(""); 
        }
    }
}

So, this code should convert non-positive numbers to 1. Thanks again. Keep asking.
