Code:

---

if(strcmp(f1,f2)>0)
        {
            if (strcmp(f2,f3)>0)
              smallest is f3
        }
        else
        {
            if (strcmp(f1,f3)>0)
              smallest is f3
        }

Yes, you are getting closer, but you are not there yet. Think about the cases where f1 and f2 are the smallest.

but still in the inner if i could get <0
so there i need to add another else
which is the same if

Code:

---

if(strcmp(f1,f2)>0)
        {
      if(strcmp(f2,f3)>0)
          {
          return f3;
          }
          else
          {
                  return f2
          }
        }
        else
        {
      if(strcmp(f1,f3)>0)
          {
          return f3;
          }
          else
          {
                  return f1
          }
        }

Yes, but don't just take my word for it: test it yourself.
