C Program to Find the Largest Number Among Three Numbers

C Program to Find the Largest Number Among Three Numbers

In this example, the largest number among three numbers (entered by the user) is found using three different methods.
 
Large number among 3 numbers using if...else statement
To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of following C programming topics:
This program uses only if statement to find the largest number.

Example #1

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
    double n1, n2, n3;

    printf("Enter three different numbers: ");
    scanf("%lf %lf %lf", &n1, &n2, &n3);

    if( n1>=n2 && n1>=n3 )
        printf("%.2f is the largest number.", n1);

    if( n2>=n1 && n2>=n3 )
        printf("%.2f is the largest number.", n2);

    if( n3>=n1 && n3>=n2 )
        printf("%.2f is the largest number.", n3);

    return 0;
}
This program uses if...else statement to find the largest number.

Example #2

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
    double n1, n2, n3;

    printf("Enter three numbers: ");
    scanf("%lf %lf %lf", &n1, &n2, &n3);

    if (n1>=n2)
    {
        if(n1>=n3)
            printf("%.2lf is the largest number.", n1);
        else
            printf("%.2lf is the largest number.", n3);
    }
    else
    {
        if(n2>=n3)
            printf("%.2lf is the largest number.", n2);
        else
            printf("%.2lf is the largest number.",n3);
    }
    
    return 0;
}
This program uses nested if...else statement to find the largest number.

Example #3

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
    double n1, n2, n3;

    printf("Enter three numbers: ");
    scanf("%lf %lf %lf", &n1, &n2, &n3);

    if( n1>=n2 && n1>=n3)
        printf("%.2lf is the largest number.", n1);

    else if (n2>=n1 && n2>=n3)
        printf("%.2lf is the largest number.", n2);

    else
        printf("%.2lf is the largest number.", n3);

    return 0;
}
Though, the largest number among three numbers is found using multiple ways, the output of all these program will be same.
Enter three numbers: -4.5
3.9
5.6
5.60 is the largest number.

C Program to Check Whether a Number is Prime or Not

C Program to Check Whether a Number is Prime or Not Example to check whether an integer (entered by the user) is a prime number or not using for loop and if...else statement. To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of following C programming topics: C if...else Statement C Programming for Loop C Programming break and continue Statement A prime number is a positive integer which is divisible only by 1 and itself. For example: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13 Example: Program to Check Prime Number #include <stdio.h> int main () { int n , i , flag = 0 ; printf ( "Enter a positive integer: " ); scanf ( "%d" , & n ); for ( i = 2 ; i <= n / 2 ; ++ i ) { // condition for nonprime number if ( n % i == 0 ) { flag = 1 ; break ; } } if ( n == 1 ) { printf ( "1 is neither a prime nor a comp...

C Program to Check Whether a Number is Even or Odd

C Program to Check Whether a Number is Even or Odd In this example, if...else statement is used to check whether a number entered by the user is even or odd.   To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of following C programming topics: C Programming Operators C if...else Statement An even number is an integer that is exactly divisible by 2. Example: 0, 8, -24 An odd number is an integer that is not exactly divisible by 2. Example: 1, 7, -11, 15 Example #1: Program to Check Even or Odd #include <stdio.h> int main () { int number ; printf ( "Enter an integer: " ); scanf ( "%d" , & number ); // True if the number is perfectly divisible by 2 if ( number % 2 == 0 ) printf ( "%d is even." , number ); else printf ( "%d is odd." , number ); return 0 ; } Output Enter an integer: ...
