Neater code

[fringe meteor]

Is it possible to run this code without writing for (int j=(middle-count);j<=middle+count;j++) 3 times?

create a method?

[hollow relic]

just put finding sum, min and max in same loop

[fringe meteor]

i tried it just but for some reason it says j value not initialized

[hollow relic]

because you need to put them in block { }

for (int j=(middle-count);j<=middle+count;j++) {
  sum += array[i][j];
  if (array[i][j] > max) max = array[i][j];
  if (array[i][j] < min) min = array[i][j];
} ```

yeah ther eyou only have single statements as the body of your loops

also you could really do with better formatting on the loop header and your conditions

and better formatting in general

mainly indents and spacing

[limpid obsidian]

void runInLoop(IntConsumer toRun, int middle, int count){
    for(int j=middle-count;j<=middle.count;j++){
        toRun.accept(j);
    }
}

i see

[fringe meteor]

this is method right?

[fringe meteor]

this worked i got it

[limpid obsidian]

this is an alternative if you want to run the loop 3 times

with different code

[fringe meteor]

that's something i wanted to work on how do i make it look neater in general?

[limpid obsidian]

Are you using an IDE?

[fringe meteor]

like how do i know when to put indents and stuff

[viral nimbus]

have consistent spacing between tokens, like between operators and operands
a + b vs a+b

[fringe meteor]

i think so

[viral nimbus]

wherever you have a nested context

[fringe meteor]

netbeans IDE 16

[limpid obsidian]

Does Ctrl+Shift+F work?

[fringe meteor]

it popped up find in projects

[viral nimbus]

lol

[fringe meteor]

is there a preferred one or it's up to preference as long as it's consistent?

[limpid obsidian]

alth +shift+f

my fault

[fringe meteor]

ouh

its

[viral nimbus]

some are near universal, some have multiple existing styles
most important thing is to stay consistent yeah
from there, try to follow the language or codebase convention

[fringe meteor]

did it just arrange my code for me?

[viral nimbus]

having correct indents at all and having spacing between tokens are 2 of the "near universal" ones

[fringe meteor]

i see

alright got it

[viral nimbus]

actually no, spacing for operations is near universal, not so for other tokens

[fringe meteor]

oh ya quick question as well

[fringe meteor]

is there something else i can use rather than 1000000

[viral nimbus]

there are some (pretty uncommon afaik) styles that prescribe no space between if and its condition, or between an array's {} and its elements, for example

[viral nimbus]

Integer.MAX_VALUE and Integer.MIN_VALUE

[fringe meteor]

i see

[viral nimbus]

MAX_VALUE for min and MIN_VALUE for max, to be clear

[fringe meteor]

ahhhh

i see

okok got it
