Java > Warmup-1 > close10 (CodingBat Solution)

Problem:

Given 2 int values, return whichever value is nearest to the value 10, or return 0 in the event of a tie. Note that Math.abs(n) returns the absolute value of a number.

close10(8, 13) → 8
close10(13, 8) → 8
close10(13, 7) → 0

Solution:

public int close10(int a, int b) {
  int temp1 = Math.abs(a - 10);
  int temp2 = Math.abs(b - 10);

  if (temp1 == temp2)
    return 0;
  else if (temp1 > temp2)
    return b;
  else 
    return a;
}
