How do i ??

How do i create a program in java that lets the user enter three numbers and outputs the largest of the three numbers entered ?

Maybe take a look at some of these books.

You may want to read some java tutorials too...

BTW: You posted in the wrong forum. This is for original tutorials only...

Code:

---

import java.io.*;

public class WordTest
{
        public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException
        {
                BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
                System.out.print("Enter first number: ");
                int one = Integer.parseInt(input.readLine());
                System.out.print("Enter second number: ");
                int two = Integer.parseInt(input.readLine());
                System.out.print("Enter third number: ");
                int three = Integer.parseInt(input.readLine());
                if(one>two && one>three){
                  System.out.println(one + " is the largest number you input");       
                }
                else if(two>one && two>three){
                  System.out.println(two + " is the largest number you input");       
                }
                else{
                  System.out.println(three + " is the largest number you input");       
                }
        }
}

I haven't tested this but it should be what you want.


edit
You are right phishphreek80, but I can't resist. It can really help some people to actually see the code of a program though. Plus I think there is a little flaw in my program. Maybe I won't fix it, but I will say what it is. There could be a problem if two of the numbers are the same.

h3r3tic: Its nice that you help him out with this, but they aren't going to learn anything if you do their homework for them...

EDIT:

You're right too, it helps to see the code and examples. Thats why I only posted links to references.

More of a point in the right direction.
