temperaturestats.java:19: error: ) expected
double max = math.max(math.max(temp1, temp2), math.max(temp3, temp4));

Explanation:

Step1: Identify syntax error cause

The error occurs because the Math.max() call for the overall maximum is missing a closing parenthesis. The inner Math.max(temp3, temp4) is properly closed, but the outer Math.max() that wraps the two pairs of min/max results lacks one closing ).

Step2: Fix the max calculation line

Add the missing closing parenthesis to the end of the max calculation statement.

double max = Math.max(Math.max(temp1, temp2), Math.max(temp3, temp4));

Step3: Fix typo (optional but good practice)

Correct the typo "Tempurature" to "Temperature" on line 9 for consistency:

System.out.print("Enter first Temperature : ");

Answer:

The error is a missing closing parenthesis ) at the end of line 19. The corrected line for calculating the maximum temperature is:

double max = Math.max(Math.max(temp1, temp2), Math.max(temp3, temp4));

Additionally, there is a typo on line 9: "Tempurature" should be corrected to "Temperature" for accuracy. After these fixes, the code will compile and run to correctly calculate the minimum and maximum of the four input temperatures.
