Largest no of given 3.

[prabhanuka]

I'm trying to take the largest no of given 3 nos.Currently I can successfully take it from 2 nos.How change the if condition for 3 nos.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main(){
float x, y;

cout << "X = ";
cin >> x;
cout << "Y = ";
cin >> y;

if (x > y)
{cout << "The Largest is " << x << endl;}
else
{cout << "The Largest is " << y << endl;}

system ("pause");
return 0;
}

You will need to add an else if statement:

if (x > y && x > z)
{ 
    //x is the largest 
}
else if (z > x && z > y)
{ 
    // z is the largest 
}
else
{
    //y is the largest
}

Of course you will have to declare z .

All the best,

Because of the transitivity property max(x,y,z) = max(x, max(y,z))
