You can take 2 out of brackets.

I don't know who made this Kata for Java, but you are a psycho! XD
I remember doing this kata in python and it was waaay easier to fix.
Java version have at least 5 times more errors! ><

Marking as resolved

I've added to the description that the sequence should start at 3 not including the offset. Thanks for the feedback

return an increasing sequence of length n where each value is a multiple of 3 offset by k

Starting from what? It is not specified anywhere.

Starting from 3 is also strange: a natural start with be 0 since 0 is also divisible by 3.

I had to make a solution like this too, because of the long data type. I had originally had good, concise solution, but had to use a brute force solution like this.

damn, saw math.max and it was described as method for only two integer's

I feel like an idiot after seeing this

sneaky boi

you are right, sorry for that, we can't swap the operands.

And how would you get 9? Remember it's a ? b ? c where a=1, b=3 and c=2, you can add some parentheses too

try to check with
a = 1
b = 3
c = 2
you will see 8, not 9

You cannot swap the operands.

You can change the operations, but the operands order is always a, b and c.

Incorrect when:
a = 1
b = 3
c = 2
biggest number is:
b * (a + c)

I'm pretty sure Java does have precendence in the order in which terms are evaluated. It's what allows us to do stuff like this where we can "nest" statements and change multiply fields of the code without worrying about the order in which it happens.

edit: I agree that it's not best practice, definitely shouldn't be used in a real-world application, but for a simple kata it's useable.
