maxValue = values[i];
store the biggest number in the maxValue
This statement sets the maximum value to value of the element at index i of the array.
3
System.out.println("Maximum value: " + maxValue);
print the maxValue in the output screen
This statement prints the maximum value of the array to the default standard output stream.
4
if (values[i] > maxValue) {
check the condition whether its true or not
We need to compare the value at the index i of the array with the maximum value stored in variable maxValue.
1
if (values[i] > maxValue) {
check the condition whether its true or not
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.
1
int num = 1234;
Assign/initialize the number to be printed from left to right.
We need variable num to store the integer that we want to print its digits.
2
} while (num > 0);
Begin a loop while the number to printed is greater than 0.
We need to check for termination conditions to avoid infinite loops.
2
} while (num > 0);
Begin a loop while the number to printed is greater than 0.
The loop should terminate when we run out of digits to process.
2
} while (num > 0);
Begin a loop while the number to printed is greater than 0.
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.
3
} while (num > 0);
Begin a loop while the number to printed is greater than 0.
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.
2
} while (num > 0);
Begin a loop while the number to printed is greater than 0.
The body of the while loop should repeat as long as there are more digits left that we have not processed yet.
2
System.out.println(num % 10);
Print the remainder when divided by 10.
Each printed digit is followed by the line separator (e.g. '\n') at the end.
1
System.out.println(num % 10);
Print the remainder when divided by 10.
We need to extract the last digit in the 1's position of the integer.
2
System.out.println(num % 10);
Print the remainder when divided by 10.
For example, if the integer is 1234, we want to extract the digit 4 that is in 1's position of the integer.
2
System.out.println(num % 10);
Print the remainder when divided by 10.
We do this by calculating the remainder of the division of the integer by 10.
3
System.out.println(num % 10);
Print the remainder when divided by 10.
Then, this statement prints the last digit of the integer to the standard output stream.
2
num = num / 10;
Divide the initial number by 10
Therefore, this division will remove the digit that we processed (lastDigit) and we can move on to the next digit.
2
num = num / 10;
Divide the initial number by 10
We truncate the extracted digit that we processed from the original integer by dividing the integer by 10.
3
num = num / 10;
Divide the initial number by 10
Note that this statement performs an integer division because both operand of the / operator are integer.
2
do {
Initiate the while loop.
We need to process the digits of the integer from right to left and print them.
1
do {
Initiate the while loop.
Therefore, we need to use a loop structure.
2
do {
Initiate the while loop.
In this program, we do this by using a do loop.
2
do {
Initiate the while loop.
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.

Set boolean variable if the phone is broken or the phone age is greater than 3 years.
The first condition is to test if the phone is broken and the second condition is to test if the phone age is at least 3 years old.
3
boolean needPhone = isBroken || phoneAge >= 3;
Set boolean variable if the phone is broken or the phone age is greater than 3 years.
We need two conditions to determine if it is the time for a new phone.
