Java program:find greatest of three numbers using method

In this tutorial, we will discuss the concept of Java program:find greatest of three numbers using method

In this post, we will learn how to find the greatest number among three numbers using a user-defined method in the Java programming language

In my previous post, I have explained the various approaches to find the largest number of among  three numbers in Java language

However, in this program, we embed the logic of the “find the greatest of three number” program in the function.

Here, I have explained how to find the greatest number from the given three number and how to embed this logic in the function.

Program 1

Find the greatest of three numbers using if else if statements

This program allows the user to enter three numbers and compare to select the largest number using if-else-if statements

import java.util.Scanner;
class greatestNum{
public static void main (String args[]){

Scanner scan=new Scanner(System.in);
//create a scanner object for input

System.out.print("Enter the first number\n");
int num1=scan.nextInt();//reads num1 from user
System.out.print("Enter the second number\n");

int num2=scan.nextInt();;//reads num2 from user
System.out.print("Enter the Third number\n");

int num3=scan.nextInt();;//reads num3 from user
findLargest(num1,num2,num3);//calling the method

}
static void findLargest(int num1,int num2, int num3){//method definition
    if(num1>=num2 && num1>=num3){
        System.out.println(num1+" is the biggest number");
        
    }
    else if(num2>=num1 && num2>=num3){
        System.out.println(num2+" is the biggest number");
        
    }
    else{
        System.out.println(num3+" is the biggest number");
        
    }
    
}

}

When the above code is executed, it produces the following results

Enter the first number
123
Enter the second number
789
Enter the third number
543

789 is the biggest number

 

Program 2

Find the greatest of three numbers using nested if statements

This program allows the user to enter three numbers and compare to select the largest number using nested if statements

import java.util.Scanner;
class greatestNum1{
public static void main (String args[]){

Scanner scan=new Scanner(System.in);
//create a scanner object for input

System.out.print("Enter the first number\n");
int num1=scan.nextInt();//reads num1 from user
System.out.print("Enter the second number\n");

int num2=scan.nextInt();;//reads num2 from user
System.out.print("Enter the Third number\n");

int num3=scan.nextInt();;//reads num3 from user
findLargest(num1,num2,num3);//calling the method

}
static void findLargest(int num1,int num2, int num3){//method definition
    if(num1>=num2){
    if(num1>=num3)
        System.out.println(num1+" is the biggest number");
        else
        System.out.println(num3+" is the biggest number");
    }
    else{
    
    if(num2>=num3)
        System.out.println(num2+" is the biggest number");
        
    else
        System.out.println(num3+" is the biggest number");
    }
    
}

}

When the above code is executed, it produces the following results

Enter the first number
987
Eneter the second number
456
Enter the third number
789

987 is the biggest number
