C Exercises: Find the largest of three numbers
C Conditional Statement: Exercise-8 with Solution
Write a C program to find the largest of three numbers.
Pictorial Presentation:
Sample Solution:
C Code:
#include <stdio.h>
void main()
{
int num1, num2, num3;
printf("Input the values of three numbers : ");
scanf("%d %d %d", &num1, &num2, &num3);
printf("1st Number = %d,\t2nd Number = %d,\t3rd Number = %d\n", num1, num2, num3);
if (num1 > num2)
{
if (num1 > num3)
{
printf("The 1st Number is the greatest among three. \n");
}
else
{
printf("The 3rd Number is the greatest among three. \n");
}
}
else if (num2 > num3)
printf("The 2nd Number is the greatest among three \n");
else
printf("The 3rd Number is the greatest among three \n");
}
OR
#include <stdio.h>
void main() {
int num1, num2, num3;
printf("Input the values of three numbers : ");
scanf("%d %d %d", &num1, &num2, &num3);
printf("1st Number = %d,\t2nd Number = %d,\t3rd Number = %d\n", num1, num2, num3);
if ((num1 > num2) && (num1 > num3))
printf("The 1st Number is the greatest among three. \n");
if ((num2 > num3) && (num2 > num1))
printf("The 2nd Number is the greatest among three \n");
if ((num3 > num1) && (num3 > num2))
printf("The 3rd Number is the greatest among three. \n");
}
OR
#include <stdio.h>
void main() {
int num1, num2, num3,ctr;
printf("Input the values of three numbers : ");
scanf("%d %d %d", &num1, &num2, &num3);
printf("1st Number = %d,\t2nd Number = %d,\t3rd Number = %d\n", num1, num2, num3);
if (num1 > num2 && num1 > num3) ctr=num1;
if (num2 > num3 && num2 > num1) ctr=num2;
if (num3 > num1 && num3 > num2) ctr=num3;
printf("The %d is the greatest among three. \n",ctr);
}
Sample Output:
Input the values of three numbers : 12 25 52 1st Number = 12, 2nd Number = 25, 3rd Number = 52 The 3rd Number is the greatest among three

C Programming: Tips of the Day
Static variable inside of a function in C
The scope of variable is where the variable name can be seen. Here, x is visible only inside function foo().
The lifetime of a variable is the period over which it exists. If x were defined without the keyword static, the lifetime would be from the entry into foo() to the return from foo(); so it would be re-initialized to 5 on every call.
The keyword static acts to extend the lifetime of a variable to the lifetime of the programme; e.g. initialization occurs once and once only and then the variable retains its value - whatever it has come to be - over all future calls to foo().
