I AM HAVING TROUBLE DISPLAYING THE SUM OF THE NUMBERS CORRECTLY IN MAIN. CAN ANYONE HELP?
public class sum_Num
{
public static void main(String [] args)
{
int sum = 0;
int n = 10;
compute_sum(n);
System.out.println(“The sum is “ + sum);
System.exit(0);
}

public static void compute_sum(int x)
{
int sum = 0;
int num = 1;
while (num <=x)
{
sum += num;
num++;
}
}
}

You are not returning the answer from compute_sum() to main().
