Really really need some help!!

Can some one please assist me with getting this program started:

Write a program called Largest.java that asks the user for how many numbers that they have. Then use a for loop that loops that number of times. In the loop, ask the user for a number. Keep track of what the largest number entered is. Print that out after the loop is over.

import java.io.*;

class Largest {
public static void main(String[] args)
throws java.io.IOException {
int n1=0,n2=0,temp=0;
Scanner kbd = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println("Enter Your First Number:");
n1 = kbd.nextInt();

for(int i=0; itemp)
temp=n2;
}
System.out.println("largest = " + temp);
}
}

hope this will work for u.

Thanks so much. Perhaps you could explain the 'kbd' portion, why didnt you call it Scanner 'scan'? What does the 'throws java.io.IOException{ ' mean?

If you get time, it would help me learn.

Thank you

'kbd' is just an object of Scanner. u can name it whatever u like.

'throws java.io.IOException' is a technique for exception handling. u r getting input from keyboard if any case ur program is not getting that input then it will throw the IO Exception.

Good luck!!
