Help.....Java Question

Question

I am new at learning Java, I need some help. My question is I have 2 numbers either can be zero or both, the quotient will be reported as zero and no division should actually be done. Otherwise, the quotient should be computed so the it is >=1 (divide the larger number by the smaller). How can I do this?

You can find some pointers to general Java help at http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=54&thread=151766
Is this what you're looking for?
    public double func(double a, double b) {
        if (a == 0.0 || b == 0.0)
            return 0.0;
        if (a > b)
            return Math.abs(a / b);
        else
            return Math.abs(b / a);
    }
