Determining the largest number

First check if "x>y". If this satisfies then check whether x>z or not. Again if this satisfies then write in the system class that "x is greater". Again the term "else" comes when "x" is not greater than "z". So check again, if "z" is greater than "y" or not. If this satisfies then type in the system class as "z is greater" otherwise (in the else condition) "y" is greater. Now check whether "y" is greater than "z" or not.

 If "x" is not greater than "y" as per the first condition, then the condition "else" comes and now you have to check if "y>z" or not. If this satisfies then the output comes as "y is greater".

Don't get confuse and analyze every condition one by one and follow this example.

Here is the code of program:

Logic change

int x=50, y=70, z=90; The program is not working. We can use this logic if(x > y){ if(x > z){ System.out.println("X is highest"); } else { System.out.println("Z is highest"); } } else{ if(y > c){ System.out.println("Y is highest"); } else { System.out.println("C is highest"); } }

coding confusion

---

int x=500, y=3000, z=4000; i tried this value and did not get the answer. i think the coding needs a change. ******************** class largernumber{ public static void main(String[] args) { int x=1000, y=200, z=3000; if (x>y){ if (x>z){ System.out.println("x is greater"); } else{ if(z>y){ System.out.println("z is greater"); } } } else{ if (y>z){ System.out.println("y is greater"); } else{ System.out.println("Z is greater"); } } } } *********** I m new to java programming and please bear with me and assist me incase i m wrong.

Insert X is lowest value, then Y is greater than X and Z is Greater Than Y.. Like x=100,y=500,c=3000 no output Programm is wrong :o

// Simple Logic public class Exper { public static void main(String args[]) { int a = 10; int b = 3; int c = 7; if((a>b) && (a>c)) { System.out.println("The Greatest Number Is A = " +a); } else if((b>a) && (b>c)) { System.out.println("The Greatest Number Is B = " +b); } else if((c>a) && (c>b)) { System.out.println("The Greatest Number Is B = " +c); } } }
