Don't Look Like a Cheater!

Some tips to make it clear you are not cheating!

• Don't use the code provided in the "Show Solution" section unless you...
• Comment your code!-Putting code comments into your code makes it clear you understand the code.

  public int max1020(int a, int b) {
    if (a>=10 && a<=20){ // a is in the range
      if (b>=10 && b<=20){    //a and b are both in range
        if (a>b){
          return a;    //a is the bigger of both
        }else {
          return b;    //b is bigger
        }
      }else {    //only a is in range
        return a; 
      }
    }
    return 0; // In all other case, return 0!
  }

• If you code does look a lot like the solution code, is there some way you can distinguish it by making it a bit better?
  Instead of:

  public boolean sleepIn(boolean weekday, boolean vacation) {
    if(!weekday || vacation){
    return true;
    } else {
   	return false;
   }
  }
  

  Write:

  public boolean sleepIn(boolean weekday, boolean vacation) {
    if(!weekday || vacation){
    return true;
    }
   return false;
  }
