Hello,

This is my first question ^^ , I just joined the collage but i have a question related to algorithm

did a flowchart for it but cant change it to algoritm to short form :(
for 1 answer its easy

Hi YemenSEF,

You can try the below mentioned algorithm:

largest = x
smallest = x

if (y > largest) then largest = y
if (z > largest) then largest = z

if (y < smallest) then smallest = y
if (z < smallest) then smallest = z

If you want to write the same in any programming language do reply.

Please revert for clarification.

Thanks very much
but i have already tried alot and found a good answer andi hope its right too
I did one like this
-start
-read ,a,b,c
-IF A>B then
A = larg
B = smal
Else
A=smal
B=larg

-IF C>larg then C=larg
-IF C<smal then C=smal
-Print: smal"Is the smallest" , larg "Is the largest"
-end
