Write an if statement that assigns to the variable biggest the Greatest value contained in variables i, j and k, Assume the three values are distinct.

if (i > j && i > k) / / check if i is greatest

{

biggest = i;

}

else if (j> i && j > k) / / check j is greatest

{

biggest = j;

}

/ / else highest is k

else / / otherwise k is greatest

{

biggest = k;

}

Explanation:

Following are the program in c+ + language

#include / / header file

using namespace std; / / namespace

int main () / / main function

{

int i, j, k; / / varaible declaration

int biggest;

cout<<" / nenter the value i, j and k:/n ";

cin>>i>>j>>k;

if (i > j && i > k) / / check if i is greatest

{

biggest = i;

}

else if (j> i && j > k) / / check j is greatest

{

biggest = j;

}

/ / else highest is k

else / / otherwise k is greatest

{

biggest = k;

}

cout<<" the biggest number is : "<
return (0);

}

Output:

enter the value i, j and k:

67

8

9

the biggest number is : 67

In this program we check the following condition:

if (i > j && i > k) then it store the value of i into biggest variable.

if (j> i && j > k) then it store the value of j into biggest variable.

otherwise the value of k is store into biggest variable.
