351 PointsLoop help?
I am trying to do an assignment outside of treehouse, and what i need to do is have a scanner and a loop that will accept multiple numerical inputs. (Example: 1 3 5 9 6...) I am just confused on how i can store essentially an unlimited number of inputs into a variable. Ill have to also create methods to find the smallest and largest inputs, the number of even and odd inputs, the cumulative totals, and the adjacent duplicates. So would i have to also do loops in each method, or is there a way that i could have just one loop for the inputs and then have those inputs carry down into the methods? Thank you to anyone who can help me out here or shed some light for this noobie programmer.

this is i cool task !
I would ask the user how many numerical inputs he/she wants to input. Then I would cast this String-number (Scanner input is always a String) to an Integer. Then I would use a loop, that takes the inputs and stores the results into an array. The number of loops will be the integer we get from the user.
After this we could analize the array. We create a for-loop or for-each loop that goes over every member of the arrya and stores max and mins into a variable ...
Let me know if this is a bit helpful ... or you need assistance
