if (values[i] > maxValue) {
Creating if condition which is fulfilled if the values[i] is greated than the maxValue variable.
If the value at that index is larger than the maximum value, then we need to set the maximum value to the value of the element at index i.
2
maxValue = values[i];
If the if condition is fulfilled, the value of maxValue will be replaced by the value in values[i].
This statement sets the maximum value to value of the element at index i of the array.
3
System.out.println("Maximum value: " + maxValue);
Statement to print the maximum value in the array values.
This statement prints the maximum value of the array to the default standard output stream.

2
int seconds = scan.nextInt();
Get input from command line as integer
We need to read the seconds that the user enters and store it in a variable.
2
int seconds = scan.nextInt();
Get input from command line as integer
We read the seconds by calling the nextInt() method because this input is an integer.
2
scan.close();
Close scanner instance
We close the scanner as we do not want to process any input from the user in the rest of the program.
3
int minutes = seconds / 60;
calculate minutes by dividing by 60
To obtain the minutes in seconds, we divide the seconds by 60 because there are 60 seconds in a minute.
3
int minutes = seconds / 60;
calculate minutes by dividing by 60
Note that since both operands of division operator are integer, the fractional part of the result is truncated, if there is any.
1
int remainingSeconds = seconds % 60;
calculate the seconds, making the modulus of the integer, to obtain the rest
This is because there are 60 seconds in a minute.
2
int remainingSeconds = seconds % 60;
calculate the seconds, making the modulus of the integer, to obtain the rest
Note that the % operator returns the remainder of the division.
2
int remainingSeconds = seconds % 60;
calculate the seconds, making the modulus of the integer, to obtain the rest
To obtain the remaining seconds after taking away the minutes, we have to take the remainder of the seconds divided by 60.

set the maxValue to the value at position 0 in the value array.
We need variable maxValue to store the maximum value of the array.
3
int maxValue = values[0];
set the maxValue to the value at position 0 in the value array.
We initialize this variable by the first value in the array because we initially assume that the first value is the maximum.
3
for (int i = 1; i < values.length; i++) {
Loop through the array, from position 1 to the length of the array, incrementing by 1 position each time
We use a for loop to iterate over the remaining array indexes and search for the maximum value.
3
for (int i = 1; i < values.length; i++) {
Loop through the array, from position 1 to the length of the array, incrementing by 1 position each time
We need the array indexes to start at 1 with every integer number up to but not including the array length.

2
do {
its a loop used to process the values
We need to process the digits of the integer from right to left and print them.
2
do {
its a loop used to process the values
Therefore, we need to use a loop structure.
2
do {
its a loop used to process the values
In this program, we do this by using a do loop.
1
do {
its a loop used to process the values
The do loop is more appropriate than a while loop because a positive integer always has at least one digit which results in the body of the loop performing at least once.
1
num = num / 10;
formula to obtain the value of num
Therefore, this division will remove the digit that we processed (lastDigit) and we can move on to the next digit.
1
num = num / 10;
formula to obtain the value of num
We truncate the extracted digit that we processed from the original integer by dividing the integer by 10.
1
num = num / 10;
formula to obtain the value of num
Note that this statement performs an integer division because both operand of the / operator are integer.
1
} while (num > 0);
end of the loop enclosed with condition
We need to check for termination conditions to avoid infinite loops.
3
} while (num > 0);
end of the loop enclosed with condition
The loop should terminate when we run out of digits to process.
2
} while (num > 0);
end of the loop enclosed with condition
We could check whether the are more digits left by checking whether the variable num, which gets updated in the body of the do loop, is greater than zero.
1
} while (num > 0);
end of the loop enclosed with condition
If variable num is greater than zero, then it must have at least one digit, and in that case, the body of the do loop will be repeated again.
1
} while (num > 0);
end of the loop enclosed with condition
The body of the while loop should repeat as long as there are more digits left that we have not processed yet.
1
System.out.println(num % 10);

We need to extract the last digit in the 1's position of the integer.
1
System.out.println(num % 10);
print the num % 10 value in the output screen
For example, if the integer is 1234, we want to extract the digit 4 that is in 1's position of the integer.
1
System.out.println(num % 10);
print the num % 10 value in the output screen
We do this by calculating the remainder of the division of the integer by 10.
4
System.out.println(num % 10);
