Have you thought about this little problem yourself? Imagine that you can hold
one number in each hand. I give you numbers, one by one, you have to drop
one number and accept my new number; when I am out of numbers you're
supposed to carry one number: the maximum value of all numbers. Try to
visualize that process and you're almost in business.

Pay special attention to the 'special cases' where I don't give you any number
at all or just one number.

kind regards,

Jos

Jos gave you the logic behind this question. I remember being new to java and being absolutely overwhelmed.

Java API
Take a look at the scanner class. This will allow you to take in input.

System.out.prin tln( String ) is the command to output to the user.

The rest is normal high level programming constructs such as for loop, do while loops and if statements. Hopefully this will give you enough information to research on your own.
