                                                       + " is " + min(test1,test2) + ".");
     }

     //Method to find minimum
     // This method needs to receive two integers and returns one integer.
     public static int min(int x, int y)
     {
          int minimum;  // local variable
          if (x < y)
                minimum = x;
