Chapter 4.4, Problem 27SCP

Explanation of Solution

Program:

  //define the static function

    public static int medianOf3(int n1, int n2, int n3 )

    {

        //condition initialized to check whether the value of n1 is lesser than n2

        if(n1<n2) {

            //condition initialized to check whether the value of n2 is lesser than n3

            if(n2<n3) {

                //return statement

                return n2;

            }else {

                //return statement

                return n3;

            }

        }else {

            //condition initialized to check whether the value of n1 is lesser than n3

            if(n1<n3) {

                //return statement

                return n1;

            }else {

                //return statement

                return n3;

            }

        }

    }

}

Explanation:

• In the given code, “medianOf3” fails to give the desired output if “n3” is the smallest of the three numbers.
• For example:
  • The given parameters are (4,7,2), the could must return 4 but returns 2...
