Thread: Greatest of Three Integers Program

Hey Guys,

I'm new to programming and am really stumped on how to write a program on figuring out the greates of three integers and could really use someone's help.

Thanks a lot guys!!

I looked under the tutorials but I'm not too sure what I should be looking for.

Or you can turn this into your teacher, and get an F:

Code:

int returnLargest(int a, int b, int c)
{
	return (((a > b) ? a : b) < c) ? c : ((a > b) ? a : b);
}

if(z > x && z > y)
    greatest = z;

I think something like that might work, been a couple years :-p

What does greatest equal if x = 5, y = 5, and z = 4?

definetly that's not the best way to do it...
instead just try with a few 'if-else' statements,it would be more clear and easy to follow...
