Can anyone tell me How can we find out greatest among two or three numbers without using any conditional operators or statements

Question

As I going to solve tricky programs I found this program. Can anyone tell me how can I solve this?

Answer 1

You can ask for input after declaring variables

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

bool isGreater(int num1, int num2);

int main()
{
int num1 = 0, num2 = 0;

cin >> num1;
cout << "First number entered: " << num1 << endl;

cin >> num2;
cout << "Second number entered: " << num2 << endl;

if(isGreater(num1, num2))
cout << num1 << " is greater than " << num2 << endl;
else
cout << num2 << " is greater than " << num1 << endl;

return 0;
}

bool isGreater(int num1, int num2)
{
return (num1 > num2);
}

Answer 2

In my opinion, this could be the way to achieve the goal.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

bool isGreater(int num1, int num2);

int main()
{
int num1 = 25, num2 = 50;

if(isGreater(num1, num2))
cout << num1 << " is greater than " << num2 << endl;
else
cout << num2 << " is greater than " << num1 << endl;

return 0;
}

bool isGreater(int num1, int num2)
{
return (num1 > num2);
}

Answer 3

nAutAxH AhmAd Okay.
But suppose if I want to take the numbers from user then what can I do?

Answer 4

nAutAxH AhmAd It's working
Thanks for your help😊

Answer 5

You could use the max() or min() method

Answer 6

emmanuel Thanks for help😊

Answer 7

You could use booleans e. g. (Python):
return "a is largest" * (a>b and a>c) etc.

Answer 8

((a+b)+abs(a-b))/2 will yield the larger of a or b.
Without using min/max or the ">" or "<" operators

Answer 9

Udi Finkelstein Thank You

Answer 10

You can use ternary operator
That is my code

Answer 11

Min(a>b)?a:b;
Use these concept

Answer 12

Thanks....)))))))
