Write a C Program to find the Largest Number

Write a C program to find the largest number from three numbers using conditional operators in the C programming Language. Make a program in the C programming language. Solution of the Program is as follows –

/*Write a C program to find the largest number among three numbers using conditional operator */

#include<stdio.h>
void main()
{
       int a,b,c,big;
       printf("\nEnter 3 numbers:\n");
       scanf("%d %d %d",&a,&b,&c);
       big=(a>b&&a>c?a:b>c?b:c);
       printf("\nThe biggest number is: %d",big);
       getch();
}

Input –
a = 10
b = 15
c = 12

Processing –
big=(a>b && a>c ?a : b>c ?b : c);

=> Condition 1 = a>b && a>c ? a
=10>15 && 10>12 ? a – False

=> Condition 2 = b>c ? b
= 15>12 ? b – True

The condition two i.e 15>12 ? b is true. Therefore the 3rd condition will not be evaluated and variable b will be assigned to variable big and hence we have found the biggest number among three numbers and the output will be printed on the screen.

Output –
The biggest number is 15
