    like this?
    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.

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