Input three numbers and then sort non descending order

Sun Oct 31, 2010 8:14 pm

I have been trying to figure out this assignment for like two days but i seem to not be able to figure out the right code for it. I'm really having trouble with the if and else statement. So if you can please help me, it will be a life saver.

The purpose of this assignment is have the user input 3 numbers for a,b,c. then the output should be in non-descending order.

Code:: import java.util.Scanner; public class NondescendingOrder { public static void main (String[] args) { // declares variables int a,b,c; Scanner input= new Scanner (System.in); // ask user for input System.out.print("Please enter three numbers separated by space: "); // read and store the input a= input.nextInt(); b= input.nextInt(); c= input.nextInt(); //output of input System.out.println ("Input 1= " +a); System.out.println ("Input 2= " +b); System.out.println ("Input 3= " +c); // if and else statement if (a<b) { if (b<c) System.out.println("The order is: "+a+" "+b+" "+c); else System.out.println("The order is: "+a+" "+c+" "+b); } else if (b<a){ if (a<c) System.out.println("The order is: "+b+" "+a+" "+c ); else System.out.println("The order is: "+b+" "+c+" "+a ); } else if (c<a){ if (b<a) System.out.println("The order is: "+c+" "+a+" "+b); else System.out.println("The order is: "+c+" "+b+" "+a); } } }

Code:: if (a<=b) { if (b<c) System.out.println("The order is: "+a+" "+b+" "+c); else System.out.println("The order is: "+a+" "+c+" "+b); } else if (a<=c){ System.out.println("The order is: "+b+" "+a+" "+c ); } else { if (b<c) System.out.println("The order is: "+b+" "+c+" "+a); else System.out.println("The order is: "+c+" "+b+" "+a); }
