Creating a method must check which of the two numbers is larger, and execute an increasing count from the smallest to the largest

Ok so i need to Create a method in the LogicalOp class, which will receive two number parameters. The method must check which of the two numbers is larger, and execute an increasing count from the smallest to the largest. (Eg: if x is the first parameter and int y is the second, if x is greater than y, then the count is from y to x).

I have tried different methods but they either did not do anything or go for an infinite loop. I don't know how to stop a loop from x to y if the x is smaller then y and from x the count starts to y and then stop there to the biggest number i imputed in console.

public void getForthExercise() {
    System.out.println("Give the x parameter and y ");
    Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
    int x = in.nextInt();
    int y = in.nextInt();
    if (x > y) {
        for (int i = x; i >= y; i++)
            System.out.println(i);

    } else if (x < y) {
        for (int i = y; i >= x;i++ )
            System.out.println(i);

So if i imput x=25 and y=5 || y
