    Are you talking about a function that will take some numbers, compare them, and tell you which one is the maximum or minimum of the set?

    Write a program in C++ that takes three int values interactively
    from the user and prints them in ascending order.

    There is a C++ forum here (click on "General Programming Boards" to find it); you might get more better and quick answers there.
    C programming resources:
    GNU C Function and Macro Index -- glibc reference manual
    The C Book -- nice online learner guide
    Current ISO draft standard
    CCAN -- new CPAN like open source library repository
    3 (different) GNU debugger tutorials: #1 -- #2 -- #3
    cpwiki -- our wiki on sourceforge

    Moved to C++ programming forum.

    You should #include <algorithm> and <vector>, read the numbers into a std::vector, then std::sort and print them. If the number of numbers is fixed at three, a little swapping as in bubble sort will suffice.

"Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.

    Do your own homework.
