Dear Friends!

I cannot figure out how to re-assign the values for "x" and "value" in my code, so I can get the result for different values in one run of the program:



Thanks a lot for your responces!

You're asking how to run your program for different values of x without having to recompile all the time, right?

Look in the Integer class documenation. One of those methods will allow to turn a command line parameter (in args[]) into an int.

I'm not sure where you are on your Java Journey, so excuse me if I start with some basics. Try moving your calculation & display into a method that takes an argument. If your main looked like this:

could you imagine what the compute method might look like?

Ryan's Integer hint (posted while I was typing, you rascal! ) is a good next step, figuring out how to use a command line parameter that the user passed to main.
