The program should display two random numbers to be added, such as 247 + 129 —— The program should then pause while the student works [...]

A tiny space can cause two different selections if you are not careful. For example, notice the single space difference between these two selectors: That presence or lack of a single space [...]
photo credit: NUCO This programming challenge is from the Head First Java book, which I studied and practiced spring 2009. The end result itself is not terribly sexy, but I liked the algorithm construction process. My programming curriculum changed course during the first year, and they eliminated our Java classes. I was still curious about [...]
