Answer:
Example 1: Find Largest Among three numbers using if..else statement
public class Largest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
double n1 = -4.5, n2 = 3.9, n3 = 2.5;
if( n1 >= n2 && n1 >= n3)
System.out.println(n1 + " is the largest number.");
else if (n2 >= n1 && n2 >= n3)
System.out.println(n2 + " is the largest number.");
else
System.out.println(n3 + " is the largest number.");
}
}
Output
3.9 is the largest number.
In the above program, three numbers -4.5, 3.9 and 2.5 are stored in variables n1, n2 and n3 respectively.
Then, to find the largest, the following conditions are checked using if else statements
If n1 is greater or equals to both n2 and n3, n1 is the greatest.
If n2 is greater or equals to both n1 and n3, n2 is the greatest.
Else, n3 is the greatest.
The greatest number can also be found using a nested if..else statement.
Example 2: Find the largest number among three using nested if..else statement
public class Largest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
double n1 = -4.5, n2 = 3.9, n3 = 5.5;
if(n1 >= n2) {
if(n1 >= n3)
System.out.println(n1 + " is the largest number.");
else
System.out.println(n3 + " is the largest number.");
} else {
if(n2 >= n3)
System.out.println(n2 + " is the largest number.");
else
System.out.println(n3 + " is the largest number.");
}
}
}
Output
5.5 is the largest number.
