Sort 3 Integers without using if condition or using only max() function
Given three inteÂgers, print them in sorted order withÂout 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 maxÂiÂmum of a, b, c using max() function.
3. MulÂtiÂply all inteÂgers by –1. Again find MinÂiÂmum of –a, –b, –c using max() function.
4. Add the Max and Min from above steps and subÂtract the sum from (a+b+c). It gives us midÂdle element.
It works for negative numbers also.
