Larger Number Using Methods - Java Sample Program

//The following program uses the method larger and main to determine the larger of two numbers:
//Program: Larger of two numbers

import java.util.*;
public class LargerNumber
{
static Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);
public static void main(String[] args)
{
double num1; //Line 1
double num2; //Line 2

System.out.println("Line 3: The larger of " + "5.6 and 10.8 is " + larger(5.6, 10.8)); //Line 3
System.out.print("Line 4: Enter two " + "numbers: "); //Line 4

num1 = console.nextDouble(); //Line 5
num2 = console.nextDouble(); //Line 6

System.out.println(); //Line 7
System.out.println("Line 8: The larger of " + num1 + " and " + num2 + " is "+ larger(num1, num2)); //Line 8
}

public static double larger(double x, double y)
{
double max;
if (x >= y)
max = x;
else
max = y;
return max;
}
}

Sample Output:

Line 3: The larger of 5.6 and 10.8 is 10.8
Line 4: Enter two numbers: 34 43
Line 8: The larger of 34.0 and 43.0 is 43.0
