Hi, all!
I am trying to teach myself Java, and am using the MindQ CDs to do it. I'm dreadfully stuck on this one exercise, and I could use some help figuring out how to properly call a Math method, store the variables, and print the results. I've programmed other methods successfully before; for some reason I just can't figure this one out. I've tried about fifty different configurations; maybe I can get some good advice here? Thanks!

import java.util.Random;

public class JavaCalcs {
public static void main(String args[]) {
System.out.println("Starting JavaComputations...");
//main method variable declarations
int z, y, x, w;
int A = -12;
int B = 2;
z = A & B;
y = A | B;
x = A >> B;
w = A >>> B;
System.out.println(z + ";" + y + ";" + x + ";" + w + ";");
Random kickassRNG = new Random();
double rDOne = kickassRNG.nextDouble() * 90.0;
double rDTwo = kickassRNG.nextDouble() * 90.0;
System.out.println("rDOne= " + rDOne);
System.out.println("rDTwo= " + rDTwo);
//NOTE-EVERYTHING WORKS FINE UNTIL THIS POINT...
if (rDOne > rDTwo)
System.out.println("The larger of the 2 degs. is rDOne");
//compute ceiling.
double a=rDOne; //Store the value of rDOne.
public static double ceil(double a);
return a;
System.out.println( "the ceiling of rDOne is " + a );
//convert degree measurement to radians.
public static double toRadians(double b);
double b = a;
System.out.println("rDOne in radians is " + b );
//compute tangent of that result.
public static double tan(double c);
double c = b;
System.out.println("The tangent of rDOne is " + c );
else
System.out.println("The larger of the 2 degs. is rDTwo");
//compute ceiling.
double a=rDTwo; //Store the value of rDOne.
public static double ceil(double a);
return a;
System.out.println( "the ceiling of rDTwo is " + a );
//convert degree measurement to radians.

System.out.println("rDTwo in radians is " + b );
