Thread: noob c ++ question. finding a minimum value

Here is the question:



Given the integer variables x , y , and z , write a fragment of code that assigns the smallest of x , y , and z to another integer variable min .

Assume that all the variables have already been declared and that x , y , and z have been assigned values).

This is the code I have, but when sumbit it the computer says that it is wrong. Could someone please tell me what is wrong with the program. Thanks.

Code:

min ( x , y , z ) {
min = x ;

if(x < y  && x < z)

{
 min = x;
return min;
}

if((y < x) && (y < z)){

min = y;
return min;

}

if((z < x) && (z < y)){

min = z ;

return min;

}
