Any number you input the output is ascending order.

This is my program

#include<stdio.h>
void main(main)
{
int first,second,third;

clrscr();

printf("Input first integer:");
scanf("%d",&first);
printf("Input second integer:");
scanf("%d",&second);
printf("Input third integer:");
scanf("%d",&third);

if(first>second)

if(second>third)

if(first>third)

printf("The number is ascending order:");
printf("%d,%d and %d");

getch();

}

You might try in the future making and organizing your code to be more readable.

#include<stdio.h>
void main(main)
{
  int first,second,third;

  clrscr();

  printf("Input first integer:");
  scanf("%d",&first);

  printf("Input second integer:");
  scanf("%d",&second);

  printf("Input third integer:");
  scanf("%d",&third);

  if(first>second)
  {
	if(second>third)
	{
	  if(first>third)
	  {
		printf("The number is ascending order:");
		printf("%d,%d and %d");
	  }/*else 1*/
	}/*else 2*/
  }/*else 3*/

} 

At the different else statements, you can printout error messages that will say "First number is smaller that the second! Not ascending!" and such.

Adding the braces to if statements organizes what is to execute if the statement is triggered. By adding them in there, only if it is in ascending order does it print out "The number is ascending order:" and the three numbers.

Make sense? I hope this got rid of whatever output errors you were having.

I don't know C, so I can't help you with it...but this would help you a bit if you understand C++.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(void)
{
int first,second,third;

cout << "Enter first integer: ";
cin >> first;
cout << "Enter second integer: ";
cin >> second;
cout << "Enter third integer: ";
cin >> third;

if(first>second){
	int temp = first;
	first = second;
	second = temp;
}
if(second>third){
	int temp = second;
	second = third;
	third = temp;
}

if(first>third){
	int temp = first;
	first = third;
	third = temp;
}

cout << "The number is ascending order:" << endl;;
cout << first << " , " << second << " , " << third << endl;
return 0;
}

Take a look at the if statements, modify them and implement them inside your code.

[jessica89]

#include<stdio.h>
void main(main)
{
  int first,second,third;

  clrscr();

  printf("Input first integer:");
  scanf("%d",&first);

  printf("Input second integer:");
  scanf("%d",&second);

  printf("Input third integer:");
  scanf("%d",&third);


if(first>second)
{
    int temp = first;
    first = second;
    second = temp;
}
if(second>third)
{
    int temp = second;
    second = third;
    third = temp;
}

if(first>third)
{
    int temp = first;
    first = third;
    third = temp;
}


  
        printf("The number is ascending order:");
        printf("%d,%d and %d");
      
getch();

}

I have an assignment that any number you input the output is ascending order

#include<stdio.h>

void main(main)
{
int first,second,third;

clrscr();

printf("Input first integer:");
scanf("%d",&first);

printf("Input second integer:");
scanf("%d",&second);

printf("Input third integer:");
scanf("%d",&third);


if(first>second)
{
int temp = first;
first = second;
second = temp;
}
if(second>third)
{
int temp = second;
second = third;
third = temp;
}

if(first>third)
{
int temp = first;
first = third;
third = temp;
}



printf("The number is ascending order:");
printf("%d,%d and %d");

getch();

} 

When i input,

first integer:3
second integer:2
third integer:1

My output is The number is ascending order:3,2 and 1

The output should be, The number is ascending order:1,2and 3

You might want to use an array as a storage device instead.

use code tags in the future please.

[Crunch]

the last comparison should be

if(first>second)
{
int temp = first;
first = second;
second = temp;
}

[HELPME!]

try using insertion sort

#include<stdio.h>

#define N 3

int main( void)
{
	int number[N], temp, wallIndex, index, i;
	
	printf("Input first integer:");
	scanf("%d",&number[0]);
	
	printf("Input second integer:");
	scanf("%d",&number[1]);
	
	printf("Input third integer:");
	scanf("%d",&number[2]);
	
	while ( wallIndex < N ) 
	{
		temp = number[wallIndex];
		index = wallIndex;
		
		while ( ( index > 0 ) && ( temp < number[index - 1] ) )
		{
			number[index] = number[index - 1];
			index--;
		}
		number[index] = temp;
		wallIndex++;
	}	
		
		
		
	printf("The number is ascending order:");
	for ( i=0; i<N; i++)
		printf("Number %d = %d\n", (i+1), number[i]);

} 

[baavgai]

You're pretty close. Use a function for the swap so you don't make typing errors. For just entering three digits, ignore suggestions of complex sorts. You are essentially doing an in place insertion sort of three elements. You don't need a loop or an array, you just need to not be confused by your variables.

#include<stdio.h>

// make a function to swap number, much easier to read in your main
void swap(int *n1, int *n2) {
	int temp = *n1;
	*n1 = *n2;
	*n2 = temp;
}

int main() {
	int first,second,third;

	printf("Input first integer:");
	scanf("%d",&first);

	printf("Input second integer:");
	scanf("%d",&second);
	// start swaping now, avoid the rush
	if(second<first) { swap(&second, &first); }

	printf("Input third integer:");
	scanf("%d",&third);
	// find the right place for the value just entered and you're done
	if(third<second) { 
		swap(&third, &second);
		if(second<first) { swap(&second, &first); }
	}

	printf("The number is ascending order:");

	// don't forget to actually put the numbers in
	printf("%d,%d and %d\n", first,second,third);

	return 0;
}

Hope this helps.

This is my assignment need help.
Any number you input the output is ascending order.

This is my program

#include<stdio.h>
void main(main)
{
int first,second,third;

clrscr();

printf("Input first integer:");
scanf("%d",&first);
printf("Input second integer:");
scanf("%d",&second);
printf("Input third integer:");
scanf("%d",&third);

  if(first>second)
  {
	if(second>third)
	{
	  if(first>third)
	  {
		printf("The number is ascending order:");
		printf("%d,%d and %d");
	  }
	}
  }
getch();

}

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main() {

int a,b,c;

cout << "Input first number.\n";
cin >> a;
cout << "Input second number.\n";
cin >> b;
cout << "Input third number.\n";
cin >> c;
cout << "\n";

cout << c << "\n" << b << "\n" << a <<"\n";
system("PAUSE");

return 0;
}

that will do what you want... kinda rinkidy-dink, but it works...

[NickDMax]

I don't get it -- your posts seem to go backwards after a point.. you make progress and then you revert back to your original code... this is not hard. If you can sort two items then you can sort thre 3 using this:

sort2( a, b ) // put a and b in order
sort2( b, c ) // see if c < b -- if it is that there is a swap...
sort2( a, b ) // so we need to check to see if a,b are still in order... (because there may have been a swap).


so putting it all together we have this:

#include<stdio.h>

void sort2(int *a, int *b) {
	if (*a > *b) {
		int temp = *b;
		*b = *a;
		*a = temp;
	}   
}

void sort3(int *a, int *b, int *c) {
	sort2(a, b);
	sort2(b, c);
	sort2(a, b);
}


int main() {
	int first,second,third;
	printf("Input first integer:");
	scanf("%d",&first);

	printf("Input second integer:");
	scanf("%d",&second);

	printf("Input third integer:");
	scanf("%d",&third);

	sort3(&first, &second, &third);

	printf("The number is ascending order: %d,%d and %d", first, second, third);

	return 0;

}

The first function sort2 just checks two inputs a and b and swaps them if a > b -- no mystery there.

The second function just used the first function to extend things to 3 numbers.

[jessica89]

#include<stdio.h>
void main(main)
{
  int temp,first,second,third;

  clrscr();

  printf("Input first integer:");
  scanf("%d",&first);

  printf("Input second integer:");
  scanf("%d",&second);

  printf("Input third integer:");
  scanf("%d",&third);


if(first>second)
{
    int temp = first;
    first = second;
    second = temp;
}
if(second>third)
{
    int temp = second;
    second = third;
    third = temp;
}

if(first>third)
{
    int temp = first;
    first = third;
    third = temp;
}


  
        printf("The number is ascending order:");
        printf("%d,%d and %d");
      
getch();

}
