Program to find largest of three numbers using ternary operator in C

Program to find largest of three numbers using ternary operator in C

In this program, we will discuss a simple concept of the Program to find largest of three numbers using ternary operator in C

In this topic, we are going learn how to find the biggest number from given three numbers using ternary operator in C programming language.

Using ternary operator to find the largest

Using ternary operator to find the largest in one line

In this program, we will find the largest number out of given three number using ternary operator in C language

Program 1

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
 //int biggestNum(int a, int b,int c);
int main()
{

    int num1,num2,num3; //declare the variables
    printf("Please Enter three numbers: ");
    //Ask input from the user
    scanf("%d %d %d",&num1,&num2,&num3);
    //Reading the input from user and store the variables

int result=num3>(num1>num2?num1:num2)?num3:((num1>num2)? num1:num2);
//find largest using ternary operator
printf("Largwst number is: %d",result);
//Display result on the screen
getch();
    return 0;
}

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

Please Enter three numbers: 34
78
61
Largest number is: 78

 

Using ternary operator to find the largest in two line

Program 2

In this program, we will find the largest number out of given three number using ternary operator in C language

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
 //int biggestNum(int a, int b,int c);
int main()
{

    int num1,num2,num3; //declare the variables
    printf("Enter three numbers: ");
    //Ask input from the user
    scanf("%d %d %d",&num1,&num2,&num3);
    //Reading the input from user and store the variables

int temp=(num1>num2)? num1:num2;
//Compare num1 and num2 using ternary operator
int largest= num3>temp?num3:temp;
//Compare num3 and temp variable using ternary operator
printf("Largest number is: %d",largest);
//Display the result on the screen
getch();
    return 0;
}

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

Please Enter three numbers: 87
99
45
Largest number is: 99

In the above, all programs, Three variables num1,num2,num3 are compared one by one using ternary operator to find largest one.
