    copied!<p>I am new to java and thanks to this site figured out how get the lowest value from the list but I am still struggling with how to get the same code to work for the highest value. I've been working on it for the past 2 hours. Again any help is appreciated</p> <pre><code>import java.io.File; import java.io.IOException; import java.util.Scanner; public class LargenSmall { public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException { String filename; //Numbers file double lowest = Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY;//lowest number in list double highest; //highest number in list //Open the file File file = new File("Numbers.txt"); Scanner inputFile = new Scanner(file); //Set lowest to zero //Read all the values in Numbers file and find the lowest value while (inputFile.hasNext()) { //Read the numbers in the file and compare each value to find lowest value double number = inputFile.nextDouble(); if (number &lt; lowest) lowest = number; } //Set highest to zero highest = 0.0; //Read all the values in Numbers file and find the highest value while (inputFile.hasNext()) { //Read the numbers in the file and compare each value to find highest value double number = inputFile.nextDouble(); if (number &gt; highest) highest = number; } //Close file inputFile.close(); //Print out the lowest value in the list System.out.println("The lowest number in your file called, " + "Numbers.txt is " + lowest + "."); //Print out the highest value in the list System.out.println("The highest value in the list is " + highest); } } </code></pre> <p>I have tried a few variations and highest value keeps coming back as 0.0</p>
