Hi, first of all thanks, my code has now passed.

Have another Q. Forgive me if I am wrong but I thought breaks were used so that when the correct case is found it breaks out of the switch, therefore saving memory. With my line of thinking, why would it continue to more 1's to n when the other cases don't meet the criteria.

Like this code, after 6 months of operation Java only just learned that a + sign next to a primitive turns it into a String!

I'm not sure my solution works? and why did it work when I set the temp variable to one in the min function and not when I set it to 0?
