Largest of three numbers using nested ternary operator

A program to demonstrate nesting of ternary operator while finding the largest of three numbers.

Learning Objectives

Using the nesting of ternary operator to find the largest of three numbers.

Source Code

Alternate (?) :

Run Output

Enter three integers: 1 2 3

3 is largest.



-OR-

Enter three integers: 43 12 32

43 is largest.



-OR-

Enter three integers: 103 104 101

104 is largest.

Code Understanding

int a,b,c; cout<<“Enter three integers: “; cin>>a>>b>>c;
Three numbers are collected.

int largest=(a>b)?(a>c?a:c):(b>c?b:c);
Ternary operator nesting is applied to find the largest.

cout<<largest<<” is largest.”<<endl;
Largest number is printed.

Notes

If all the numbers are same it reports the number. The better way thus could be if-else ladder which can also report if the numbers are not distinct.
If two of three numbers are same they this logic works fine and the larger one is reported.

Common Errors

Be careful in putting brackets while using the nesting of ternary operator.
