java bad operand types for binary operator

Question

Problem:

Hi! I’m a high school level student and learning Java in class and I have a homework assignment where I have to complete quizzes and exercises online. I need help with a couple of exercises but I solved most of them except one. The problem is to find out the minimum and maximum value by using an If block. But the program is not running and throws back an error: java bad operand types for binary operator. Here is my code snippet

public boolean inRange(int number, int minimum, int maximum){
           if(minimum <= number <= maximum){
              return false;
              }
           else{
              return true;
              }
}

Could any of you please figure out the contagious portion from the program? Thanks.

Answer 1

In java, some operators are not companionable. The ( <= ) is one of them. You can’t use the operator in a java program. That’s the reason you are getting the error. So, what should you do now? You need to think of other algorithms and operators to solve the problem. I am giving you a hint of an algorithm below. Please, write the code for your own.

Lets the numbers be a, b, c and 

check if a>b if TRUE {

then check a>c (if it is true then print a as largest) else print c as largest }  

else { b>a 

check if b>c (if it is true then print b as largest) else print c as largest) }.

 

Answer 2

== has higher precedence than &. You might want to wrap your operations in () to seclude how you want your operands to bind to the operators.

((a[0] & 1) == 0)

Likewis for all parts of the if condition.

Since & has a lesser priority than ==.

Your code is equivalent to a[0] & (1 == 0), and if not a[0] is a boolean this won't compile…

You require to:

(a[0] & 1) == 0

or You can attempt this way

The error message is pretty clear: you can't liken an Object with an int.
In case you are certain the low1 collection really conceive ints, then cast it properly, for example

int x = (int)low1.get(a);
for (int i = 0; i < row; i++) {
  if (dc[i][a] == x) {
    i1.add(i);
  }
}

By the way it would better applying the generic collections (that is ArrayList<E>[^]).
