Comparison Program

Question

I am trying to write a program that reads 5 integers and displays the highest and lowest integers typed in. We are only supposed to use the ideas of variables and comparison operators. The way I figured does this is create a variable named maxVar and keep reassigning it if some other variable ends up being larger. What am I doing wrong. I am new to java
public class Comparison
public static void main( String args[] )
         { // start main method
      Scanner input = new Scanner( System.in );
        int number1; // first number to compare
        int number2; // second number to compare
        int number3; // third number to compare
        int number4; // fourth number to compare
        int number5; // fifth number to compare
        int maxVar = 0; // This is the MaxValue
        System.out.print( "Enter First Integer: " );
        number1 = input.nextInt();
        System.out.print( "Eneter Second Integer: " );
        number2 = input.nextInt();
        System.out.print( "Enter Third Integer: " );
        number3 = input.nextInt();
        System.out.print( "Enter Fourth Integer: " );
        number4 = input.nextInt();
        System.out.print( "Enter Fifth Integer: " );
        number5 = input.nextInt();
        if ( number1 <= number2 )
                number2 = maxVar;
        if ( number1 > number2)
                number1 = maxVar;
        if ( number3 >= maxVar )
                number3 = maxVar;
       if ( number4 >=  maxVar )
                number4 = maxVar;
        if ( number5 >=  maxVar )
                number5 = maxVar;
        System.out.print( " The maximum Integer You Entered Was:"  );
        System.out.printf("%d /n", maxVar );
        } // end method main
} // end class Comparison
