Question

write a program ordered.java

Order check Write a program Ordered.java that takes four int command-line arguments w, x, y, and z. Define a boolean variable whose value is true if the four values are either in strictly ascending order (w < x < y < z) or strictly descending order (w > x > y > z), and false otherwise. Then, display the boolean variable value.

NOTE 1: Do not use if statements on this program.

NOTE 2: Assume that the inputs will always be integers.

Answer 1

public class Ordered{
   public static void main(String[] args) {
       int w = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
       int x = Integer.parseInt(args[1]);
       int y = Integer.parseInt(args[2]);
       int z = Integer.parseInt(args[3]);

       boolean isAscending = (w > x) && (x > y) && (y > z);
       boolean isDescending = (w < x) && (x < y) && (y < z);

       boolean val = isAscending || isDescending;

       // System.out.println("isAscending: "+isAscending);
       // System.out.println("isDescending: "+isDescending);
       System.out.println("Output: "+val);
   }
}
