//initialize i and output its value int i = 12; System.out.println( "i is equal to " ); System.out.println( i );

//display final message System.out.println( "Bye." );

Comment rules

1. Comments are required (by me)!– You may use the problem description as the

basis for your comments.

2. Comments should be placed before (not after) the code they describe.

Indentation rules

1. All lines within the same block should line up on the left.

2. All lines following { should be indented +4 spaces.

3. All lines including and then following } should be unindented -4 spaces.
