Thread: C++ If Statements Help

Hey Mary Pat.

Code:

	if (number2 < number1 < number3)
		middle = number1; if (number1 < number2 < number3) 
			middle = number2; if (number1 < number3 < number2) 
				middle = number3;

You can't code like this - it's not valid syntax. How that reads is:

if number2 is less than number1 is less than number 3 ...

Stick with one condition inside the parens for now until you gain more experience.

Try something like this:

Code:

int temp ; 
if (low > middle) { 
  temp = low ;
  low = middle ; 
  middle = temp
}

And then do the same thing with low and high (or number"x" and number"y"). Then, do middle and high.
