Greatest/Lowest

[spamtrain14]

Hello everyone,

I need to input 3 numbers and find the greatest/lowest number using if statements.

So far I have:

#include <iostream>
int main()
{
int n1;
int n2;
int n3;
int lowest;
int greatest;

greatest = n1;

if ( n2 >= greatest )
{
n2 = greatest;
}

if ( n3 >= greatest )
{
n3 = greatest;
}

lowest = n1;

if ( n2 <= lowest )
{
n2 = lowest;
}
if ( n3 <= lowest )
{
n3 = lowest;
}

std::cout << "Greatest=" << greatest << std::endl;
std::cout << "Lowest=" << lowest << std::endl;
return 0;
}

I specifically have to use if statements.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Not sure what you're asking, your code does what you're requesting.

However, keep in mind, before you do greatest = n1, you have to fill in a value for n1, n2, and n3.

Perhaps something like

std::cout << "Enter your 3 numbers." << std::endl;
std::cin >> n1 >> n2 >> n3;

Before you say greatest=n1

Thanks, figured it out... my n2 > lowest statements were reversed...

Right to left, not left to right...
