Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

The code to this question as follows:

Code:

if(x < y) //if block that check value of x less then value of y

{

if(x<z) // inner if block that check value of x less then value of z

{

min = x;  //assign value of x in min variable

}

else // inner else block when condition is false

{

min = z;  //assign value of z in min variable

}

}

else //outer else block

{

if(y<z) //if block to check value of variable y is less then value of z

{

min = y;  //assign value of y in min variable

}

else //else block

{

min = z;  //assign value of z in min variable

}

}

Explanation:

In the given question it is defined, that an integer variable " x, y,z, and min" is declared, in which variable "x,y, and z" value is defined, and the variable is used to assign a big value.

• To check the biggest value we use the if-else statement in which, and if block check value of x is less than then the value of y if this condition is true so, inside this another if block declares, that will check if the value of x is less then z. if this is true, it will assign the value of x in min variable else it will assign the value of z in min.
• In the outer else part, another conditional block has used, that checks if the value of y is less than then the value of z if it is true, it assigns the value of y in min else it will assign the value of z in min.
