while (num % divisor != 0) { | Loop until a divisor is found. | We need to increment the divisor repeatedly as long as the divisor is not a factor of the number. | 2 |
while (num % divisor != 0) { | Loop until a divisor is found. | Therefore, we need to use a loop structure. | 4 |
while (num % divisor != 0) { | Loop until a divisor is found. | The condition in the while loop tests whether the body of the loop should be repeated, so it should test whether the divisor is not a factor of the number. | 3 |
while (num % divisor != 0) { | Loop until a divisor is found. | We could check whether the divisor is not a factor of the number by computing the remainder of the division of the number by the divisor. | 1 |
divisor += 1; | Increment divisor by 1 to check if the next number is a divisor. | When the divisor is not a factor of the number, we increment the variable divisor by 1. | 3 |
System.out.println("The smallest divisor of " + num + " is " + divisor); | Print out the number and its smallest divisor. | This statement prints to the default standard output stream the smallest divisor of the number. | 4 |
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in); | Make a new scanner to get input from the user. | To read the input value from the user, we need to define a Scanner object. | 5 |
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in); | Make a new scanner to get input from the user. | We need to read and process the integer that the user enters. | 3 |
System.out.println("Enter an integer: "); | Ask the user to enter an integer. | We prompt the user to enter an integer. | 5 |
int num = scan.nextInt(); | Get the integer that the user entered. | We read the input integer by calling the nextInt() method because this input is an integer. | 4 |
int num = scan.nextInt(); | Get the integer that the user entered. | We need to read the integer that the user enters and store it in a variable. | 4 |
scan.close(); | Close the scanner since it is not needed any more. | We close the scanner as we do not want to process any input from the user in the rest of the program. | 5 |
if ( num > 0 ) { | Check if the number is greater than 0. | If the integer is neither positive nor negative, then we could conclude that the integer is zero. | 1 |
if ( num > 0 ) { | Check if the number is greater than 0. | The conditions that tests for the integer's sign are mutually exclusive (i.e., one and only one of the conditions can be true); therefore, their order does not matter. | 1 |
if ( num > 0 ) { | Check if the number is greater than 0. | To determine the sign of the integer, we need to perform two tests: one for determining whether the integer is positive and one for determining whether the integer is negative. | 2 |
if ( num > 0 ) { | Check if the number is greater than 0. | Also, it is better to use if-else if statements instead of sequential if statements because an integer has only one sign and once we find the sign, we don't need to perform more tests. | 1 |
if ( num > 0 ) { | Check if the number is greater than 0. | If both of these tests fail, then we could conclude that the integer is zero. | 1 |
System.out.println("The integer is positivie."); | Print that the number is positive if it is greater than 0. | This statement prints that the integer is positive. | 4 |
System.out.println("The integer is positivie."); | Print that the number is positive if it is greater than 0. | The printed text is followed by the end-of-line character at the end. | 1 |
} else if ( num < 0 ) { | Check if the number is less than 0. | If the first test fails (i.e., when the integer is not positive), we need to test if the integer is negative. | 4 |
System.out.println("The integer is negative."); | Print that the integer is negative if it is less than 0. | The printed text is followed by the end-of-line character at the end. | 1 |
System.out.println("The integer is negative."); | Print that the integer is negative if it is less than 0. | This statement prints that the integer is negative. | 5 |
System.out.println("The integer is positivie."); | Print that the integer is positive if it is greater than 0. | This statement prints that the integer is positive. | 5 |
System.out.println("The integer is positivie."); | Print that the integer is positive if it is greater than 0. | The printed text is followed by the end-of-line character at the end. | 1 |
} else { | Check if the number is not less than 0 or greater than 0. | We need to end the above if-else if statements with an else statement that its body is executed when none of the above tests are true, that is when the integer is zero. | 2 |
System.out.println("The integer is zero."); | Print that the integer is zero if it is not less than 0 or greater than 0. | The printed text is followed by the end-of-line character at the end. | 1 |
System.out.println("The integer is zero."); | Print that the integer is zero if it is not less than 0 or greater than 0. | This statement prints that the integer is zero. | 5 |

for ( int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++ ) { | Loop through all of the elements in the array. | We want to iterate over the array and increment each element in the array by 1. | 3 |
for ( int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++ ) { | Loop through all of the elements in the array. | To really change the array as we march across it, we need to use indexes so we can assign an updated value to each position as we go. | 2 |
for ( int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++ ) { | Loop through all of the elements in the array. | We need the array indexes to start at 0 (array indexes start from 0) with every integer number up to but not including the array length. | 2 |
arr[i] += 1; | Increment the current element in the array by 1. | This statement increments the element at the index i of the array by 1. | 5 |
for (int num = 2; num <= 10; num += 2) { | Loop through the even positive integers less than or equal to 10. | To do this, we need to use a loop structure. | 5 |
for (int num = 2; num <= 10; num += 2) { | Loop through the even positive integers less than or equal to 10. | We need to repeat the same process for each of the even positive integers that are less than or equal to 10. | 5 |
for (int num = 2; num <= 10; num += 2) { | Loop through the even positive integers less than or equal to 10. | To do this, we initialize variable num to 2, loop until reaching 10 (inclusive), and increment num by 2 after each iteration of the loop. | 3 |
for (int num = 2; num <= 10; num += 2) { | Loop through the even positive integers less than or equal to 10. | We use for loops instead of a while loop because we need to repeat the loop a certain number of times, and for loops are best-suited in cases like this when we know ahead of time the number of times that we need to repeat the loop. | 2 |
for (int num = 2; num <= 10; num += 2) { | Loop through the even positive integers less than or equal to 10. | Here, we want the for loop to start counting from 2 (2 is the first positive even number) with every even integer number up to (including) 10. | 3 |
System.out.println(num + " squared = " + (num * num)); | Print the current integer and its square. | The multiplication may also be performed directly in the println statement. | 2 |
System.out.println(num + " squared = " + (num * num)); | Print the current integer and its square. | Note that we do not necessarily have to store the squared number in a variable. | 1 |
System.out.println(num + " squared = " + (num * num)); | Print the current integer and its square. | To square each number in the sequence, we multiply it by itself using the multiplication (*) operator. | 2 |
System.out.println(num + " squared = " + (num * num)); | Print the current integer and its square. | In each iteration of the loop, this statement prints the square number to the default standard output stream. | 4 |
