Given three integers, print them in sorted order without using if condition.
Examples :
Input : a = 3, b = 2, c = 9 Output : 2 3 9 Input : a = 4, b = 1, c = 9 Output : 1 4 9
Approach :
1. Find the maximum of a, b, c using max() function.
3. Multiply all integers by –1. Again find Minimum of –a, –b, –c using max() function.
4. Add the Max and Min from above steps and subtract the sum from (a+b+c). It gives us middle element.
It works for negative numbers also.
C++
// C++ program to print three numbers // in sorted order using max function #include<bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; void printSorted(int a, int b, int c) { // Find maximum element int get_max = max(a, max(b, c)); // Find minimum element int get_min = -max(-a, max(-b, -c)); int get_mid = (a + b + c) - (get_max + get_min); cout << get_min << " " << get_mid << " " << get_max; } // Driver code int main() { int a = 4, b = 1, c = 9; printSorted(a, b, c); return 0; } |
Java
// Java program to print three numbers // in sorted order using max function class GFG { static void printSorted(int a, int b, int c) { // Find maximum element int get_max = Math.max(a, Math.max(b, c)); // Find minimum element int get_min = -Math.max(-a, Math.max(-b, -c)); int get_mid = (a + b + c) - (get_max + get_min); System.out.print(get_min + " " + get_mid + " " + get_max); } // Driver code public static void main(String[] args) { int a = 4, b = 1, c = 9; printSorted(a, b, c); } } // This code is contributed by Anant Agarwal. |
Python3

C#
// C# program to print three numbers // in sorted order using max function using System; class GFG { static void printSorted(int a, int b, int c) { // Find maximum element int get_max = Math.Max(a, Math.Max(b, c)); // Find minimum element int get_min = -Math.Max(-a, Math.Max(-b, -c)); int get_mid = (a + b + c) - (get_max + get_min); Console.Write(get_min + " " + get_mid + " " + get_max); } // Driver code public static void Main() { int a = 4, b = 1, c = 9; printSorted(a, b, c); } } // This code is contributed by nitin mittal. |
PHP
<?php // PHP program to print three numbers // in sorted order using max function function printSorted($a, $b, $c) { // Find maximum element $get_max = max($a, max($b, $c)); // Find minimum element $get_min = -max(-$a, max(-$b, -$c)); $get_mid = ($a + $b + $c) - ($get_max + $get_min); echo $get_min , " " , $get_mid, " " , $get_max; } // Driver Code $a = 4; $b = 1; $c = 9; printSorted($a, $b,$c); // This code is contributed by nitin mittal. ?> |
