My friend needs help on this java thing

 Given 2 ints, a and b, return their sum. However, sums in the range 10..19 inclusive, are forbidden, so in that case just return 20.

 

sortaSum(3, 4) → 7

sortaSum(9, 4) → 20

sortaSum(10, 11) → 21

Is there any particular reason why the results cannot return 10, 11, 12, 13, 14... 19?

Just put in a condition that if the sum is greater than equal to 10 AND less than equal to 19, return 20.

What's the issue? Get the sum, check if it's in the forbidden range, and return the appropriate value.

just add the values, and at the end put an if statement checking if its in the forbidden range, if thats the case, just return 20.

I think it worked for her , thank you guys for the answers

int f(int a , int b)

{

int s = a + b;

if( s >= 10 && s <=19) return 20;

return s;

}

Why don't 'she' ask for help 'herself'? Or is this just another manifestation of 'her' level of effort?

She had been struggling for a while, then asked me, i didnt know anything about coding. So i just asked for help here and sent her the link. and that managed to help her solve the problem.
