Find the Greatest of the Three Numbers
Given Three integer inputs num1, num2 and num3, the objective is ti write a code to Find the Largest of the Three Numbers in C Language. In this article we will see a C program to Find Greatest of three numbers in C. We will use if else conditions and ternary operator too to find the same. Here are some of the methods to solve the above mentioned problem,
- Method 1: Using if-else Statements 2
- Method 2: Using if-else Statements 2
- Method 3: Using Ternary Operator
We’ll discuss the above mentioned methods in the sections below in depth.
Method 1: Using if-else Statements 1
// C Code
#include <stdio.h>
int main ()
{
int num1, num2, num3;
num1=12,num2=17,num3=19;
//checking if num1 is greatest
if (num1 >= num2 && num1 >= num3)
printf("%d is the greatest", num1);
//checking if num2 is greatest
else if(num2 >= num1 && num2 >= num3)
printf("%d is the greatest", num2);
//checking if num2 is greatest
else if(num3 >= num1 && num3 >= num2)
printf("%d is the greatest", num3);
return 0;
}
// C++ Code
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main ()
{
int first, second, third;
first=10,second=20,third=30;
//comparing first with other numbers
if ((first >= second) && (first >= third))
cout << first << " is the greatest ";
//comparing Second with other numbers
else if ((second >= first) && (second >= third))
cout << second << " is the greatest";
else
cout << third << " is the greatest";
return 0;
}
// Time complexity : O(1)
// Space complexity : O(1)
// Java Code
public class Main
{
public static void main (String[]args)
{
int num1 = 10, num2 = 20, num3 = 30;
//checking if num1 is greatest
if (num1 >= num2 && num1 >= num3)
System.out.println (num1 + " is the greatest");
//checking if num2 is greatest
else if (num2 >= num1 && num2 >= num3)
System.out.println (num2 + " is the greatest");
//checking if num2 is greatest
else if (num3 >= num1 && num3 >= num2)
System.out.println (num3 + " is the greatest");
}
}
Method 2: Using Nested if-else Statements
# Python Code
num1, num2, num3 = 10 , 30 , 20
max = 0
if num1 >= num2 and num1 >= num3:
print(num1)
elif num2 >= num1 and num2 >= num3:
print(num2)
else:
print(num3)
// C Code
#include <stdio.h>
int main ()
{
int num1, num2, num3;
num1=13,num2=45,num3=27;
//comparing num1 with other numbers
if ((num1 >= num2) && (num1 >= num3))
printf("%d is the greatest", num1);
//comparing num2 with other numbers
else if ((num2 >= num1) && (num2 >= num3))
printf("%d is the greatest", num2);
// num3 has to be greatest then if not above
else
printf("%d is the greatest", num3);
return 0;
}
// C++ Code
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main ()
{
int first, second, third;
first=10,second=20,third=30;
int temp, result;
// find the largest bw first and second and store in temp
temp = first > second ? first:second;
// find the largest bw temp and third and finally printing it
result = temp > third ? temp:third;
// the above two ternary statements can be condensed into one ternary statement
//result = third > (first > second ? first : second) ? third : ((first > second) ? first : second);
cout << result << " is the largest";
return 0;
}
// Time complexity : O(1)
// Space complexity : O(1)
// Java Code
public class Main
{
public static void main (String[]args)
{
int num1 = 10, num2 = 20, num3 = 30;
//comparing num1 with other numbers
if ((num1 >= num2) && (num1 >= num3))
System.out.println (num1 + " is the greatest");
//checking if num2 is greatest
else if (num2 >= num1 && num2 >= num3)
System.out.println (num2 + " is the greatest");
// num3 has to be greatest then if not above
else
System.out.println (num3 + " is the greatest");
}
}
# Python Code
num1, num2, num3 = 10 , 30 , 20
max = 0
if num1 >= num2:
if num1 >= num3:
print(num1)
elif num2 >= num1:
if num2 >= num3:
print(num2)
else:
print(num3)
Method 3: Using Ternary Operator
// C Code
#include <stdio.h>
int main ()
{
int num1, num2, num3;
num1=12,num2=98,num3=84;
int temp, result;
// find the largest b/w num1 and num2 & store in temp
temp = num1>num2 ? num1:num2;
// find the largest b/w temp and num3 & finally printing it
result = temp>num3 ? temp:num3;
printf(" %d is the largest", result);
return 0;
}
// Java Code
public class Main
{
public static void main (String[]args)
{
int num1 = 10, num2 = 20, num3 = 30;
int temp, result;
// find the largest b/w num1 and num2 & store in temp
temp = num1>num2 ? num1:num2;
// find the largest b/w temp and num3 & finally printing it
result = temp>num3 ? temp:num3;
System.out.println (result + " is the greatest");
}
}
# Ternary operator using in Python
num1, num2, num3 = 10 , 30 , 20
max = num1 if num1>num2 else num2
max = num3 if num3>max else max
print(max)
Method 4 : Using inbuilt function
// Using max function in C++
#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
using namespace std;
int main ()
{
int first, second, third;
first=10,second=20,third=30;
int result;
result = max(first,max(second, third));
cout << result << " is the largest";
return 0;
}
// Time complexity : O(1)
// Space complexity : O(1)
// Python program to find max of 3 numbers using inbuilt function
num1, num2, num3 = 10 , 30 , 20
print(max(num1,num2,num3))
