Need help on simple Programming Project

daNichex6 · #1 03-Sep-2004, 17:36

I just got transfered into this class and it seems as though I have an assignment due at 11p.m. tonight I have to email my teacher for make up. I have no idea how to do this because I have not gotten an example or anything. Sorry to post this here but I am just desperate for some help so I don't make a fool out of myself in front of my teacher. This is not meant to be in any special code or anything, just simple solving to build tactics in programming. I am not asking anyone to do this for me, but simply some help on how to do this.. perhaps an example. Thanks.

The Problem:
Write an algorithmic solution to the problem of finding the largest number out of three numbers. List the specific steps that would enable another person to find the largest among three numbers presented. Make sure that you desk-check your solution and verify that it works.
It must include an IPO chart, and assumptions whatever that means...

I can give you some clue on how your algorithm should look like

Lets say i have 3 nos a,b & c.

Lets assume a variable "max" that hold the largest no.

now the program should look like

if (a>b) then max=a else max=b
if (max>c) then (print max and exit we have got largest number) else max=c (now C is the lagest among the three.Print c)

if you want C program it looks like this

CPP / C++ / C Code:

#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
char line[100];
int a,b,c,max;       // Variables to hold out 3 nos and largest no

printf("Enter 3 nos seperated by space: ");
fgets(line,sizeof(line),stdin);
sscanf(line,"%d %d %d",&a,&b,&c);


if (a>b)
{ 
  max=a;
} else {
	max=b;
}

if (max>c) 
{
printf("Largest of 3 nos is: %d\n",max);
} else {
printf("Largest of 3 nos is: %d\n",c);
}
}

Hope this helps

Thanks,
