[MatrimC]

I have created a program for my Computer Science class that the user inputs 3 integers and the program is supposed to sort them from least to greatest. I have written the code and it works fine, except when you put 2 integers as the same number. If I have put my numbers as 1, 1, and 4, the system prints The numbers from least to greatest are: 1, 0, 4. Here is my code, any help would be appreciated.

import java.util.Scanner;
	
public class Sorting{
	public static void main(String[] args){
	
	
	Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
	int low=0;
	int mid=0;
	int hi=0;
	
	System.out.println("Enter 3 variables:");
	int num1 = input.nextInt();
	int num2 = input.nextInt();
	int num3 = input.nextInt();
		
	//Finds the lowest number
	if ((num1 <= num2) && (num1 <= num3)) {
		low = num1;
	} else if ((num2 <= num1) && (num2 <= num3)) {
		low = num2;
	} else if ((num3 <= num1) && (num3 <= num2)) {
		low = num3;
		}
		
	//Finds the highest number
	if ((num1 >= num2) && (num1 >= num3)) {
		hi = num1;
	} else if ((num2 >= num1) && (num2 >= num3)) {
		hi = num2;
	} else if ((num3 >= num1) && (num3 >= num2)) {
		hi = num3;
		}
		
	//Finds the middle number
	if ((num1 != low) && (num1 != hi)) {
		mid = num1;
	} else if ((num2 != low) && (num2 != hi)) {
		mid = num2;
	} else if ((num3 != low) && (num3 != hi)) {
		mid = num3;
		}
		
	System.out.println("The variables from least to greatest are:");
	System.out.print("" + low);
	System.out.print("," + mid);
	System.out.print("," + hi);
	}
		}

Your logic for finding the middle number is where it goes wrong. at that point you have set low = 1. So this happens

import java.util.Scanner;
	
public class Sorting{

	//low = 1, hi= 4
	
        //Finds the middle number
	if ((num1 != low) && (num1 != hi)) { //num1 == low mid does not get set
		mid = num1;
	} else if ((num2 != low) && (num2 != hi)) { //num2 == low mid does not get set
		mid = num2;
	} else if ((num3 != low) && (num3 != hi)) { //num3 == hi mid does not get set
		mid = num3;
		}

Through all this the value of mid never changes. I think you want to change your logic to see if it is between hi and low instead of not equal to.

Hello there MatrimC.

You dont take in consideration that if num1 = 1 and num2 = 1, they are both low and mid value.
You have to write specific what value should be low / mid.
Something like this:

if ((num1 = num2) && (num3 >= num2)) {
    low = num1;
    mid = num2;
    hi = num3;
}

And the other two ways around:

if ((num3 = num2) && (num1>= num3)) {
       low = num2;
       mid = num3;
       hi = num1;
}else if ((num3 = num1 && (num2 >= num1)) {
       low = num3;
       mid = num1;
       hi = num2;
}

Define these three if-statements before the other onces and u should succed!
And look forward to use loops (for loops) its way easier :-)!
