How to add results from a method

Question

Hi-
I have written the following code that takes an input integer, and figures out every odd integer contained inside such as inputting 7 would give you 5,3,1. How can I modify this code to take those answers in my example and get it to add them to equal 9 in this case? I have tried making my method return an int, but I am doing something wrong, and have banged on this for hours, resulting in a giggling compiler. Even if I get some help on the return, I am baffled by how to get another method(?) or whatever to "remember" the parsed out odd integers
and then add them.
Thanks
Brad
public class OddSum
public static void main (String [] args)
System.out.println ("Please Enter An Integer.");
int varOne;
EasyIn easy = new EasyIn();
varOne = easy.readInt();
System.out.println("You Entered: " + varOne);
figureOdds(varOne);
public static void figureOdds (int varOne)
int num;
for (num = varOne-1; num >0; --num)
int monkees;
monkees = num;
if(monkees%2 != 0)
System.out.println("The Odds Contained in your Input Integer are: " + monkees);
}

Answer 1

Hmmm-
neither of those solutioins are working correctly. Say for example I entered a 5. First (and what I had working)
I wanted to find all the odd ints contained in 5 not including 5: 3 and 1. THEN I wanted to add them for a result of 4. It was helpful to see that I could declare a var named sum and set it to 0 as in this:
int sumOfOdds = 0;
for (num = varOne-1; num >0; --num)
//int monkees;
//monkees = num;
if(num%2 != 0)
sumOfOdds += num;
System.out.println("The Odds Contained in your Input Integer are: " + num);
but when you compile and enter "11" as the int it comes up with 55 instead of 25 as it should.
In the second reply with code:
public static int figureOdds(int varOne) {
int num, sum = 0;
for (num = varOne-1; num > 0; --num) {
if(num%2 != 0){
sum += num;
System.out.println("The Odds Contained in your Input Integer are: " + num);
return sum;
it gives me the same result as I was getting. Am I missing something that was unsaid, but supposed to be understood?
