    Post IF statements

    Hi, first post here and a very big n00b at programming, im learning it for my A/AS-levels at school, so [please go easy on me. I dont know a lot thats why im here.

    Basically, im sure theres obviously something VERY big im missing here, if staements, heres the code

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <cstdlib>
    
    int main()
    
    {
        
        int first;
        int second;
        int third;
        
        scanf("%d", &first);
        scanf("%d", &second);
        scanf("%d", &third);
        
        if((first > second) && (second > third));
                  printf("%d", first);
    
        if((first > third) && (second < third));
                  printf("%d", first);
    
    
    
        if((second > first) && (first > third));
                   printf("%d", second);
    
        if((second > third) && (first < third));
                   printf("%d", second);
    
    
    
        if((third > second) && (second > first));
                  printf("%d", third);
     
        if((third > first) && (second < first));
                  printf("%d", third);
        
        
    }
    All that happens is that it prints out everythign i have defined and entered, it prints out the 3 numbers twice, obviously because the printf's are not relating to the if staements at all, whats missing or there thats worng. Can you help??

    Thanks, dragon2309

    You are right your printf statements are not relateted to the if's
    That's because of the semicolons after the if-statements.
    Remove them.

    You don't have a return statement too.

    >> You don't have a return statement too.

    In C++, a return statement is not required. It is perfectly legal to leave it out. The main function is special in that it automatically returns 0 if you don't provide the return statement. (This assumes you have a standards-conforming compiler).

    I was going to post that also, but saw that the OP is actually programming in C, and in C it is required.

    But now that I return to this post, I notice the OP has #include <cstdlib>.. So he is programming in C++, using C libraries. Whoever is teaching you should be fired..
    Warning: Have doubt in anything I post.
