Java (beginner): Cannot find symbol in Math class

Question

guys. I've been trying to figure this out for a while, and I just can't seem to figure out what the problem is. I've done some research, but for others it was stuff like uppercase typos. I didn't cut it with me. Here's the entire code:

import java.lang.Math;

public class Threesix_RasmusDS
{
   public static void smallerAbsVal()
   {     

      int a = 4;
      int b = 9;

      System.out.println(Math.abs(a, b));
      System.out.println(Math.min(a, b));    

}
//End of smallerAbsVal

}
//End of class

Answer 1

As per the javadoc, Math#abs only takes one argument, so it needs to be either Math.abs(a) or Math.abs(b) . If youre looking for the smallest absolute value then that would be

System.out.println(Math.min(Math.abs(a), Math.abs(b)));
