Question

Given the int variables x, y, and z, write a fragment of code that assigns the smallest of x, y, and z to another int variable min. Assume that all the variables have already been declared and that x, y, and z have been assigned values.

Answer 1

Answer:

// here is code in C++.

#include <bits/stdc++.h>

using namespace std;

// main function

int main()

{

   // variables

   int x=5,y=2,z=9;

   int min;

   // find the smallest value and assign to min

   // if x is smallest

   if(x < y && x < z)

   // assign x to min

    min=x;

     // if y is smallest

else if(y < z)

 // assign y to min

    min=y;

// if z is smallest

else

 // assign z to min

    min=z;

// print the smallest

cout<<"smallest value is:"<<min<<endl;

return 0;

}

Explanation:

Declare and initialize variables x=5,y=2 and z=9.Then check if x is less than y and x is less than z, assign value of x to variable "min" .Else if value of y is less than value of z then smallest value is y, assign value of y to "min".Else z will be the smallest value, assign its value to "min".

Output:

smallest value is:2
