    This document describes two examples of using if/else statements to find the largest of three numbers in Java. The first example uses if/else statements to directly compare each number to the other two, printing the largest. The second example uses nested if/else statements, first comparing the first number to the second, then checking the first against the third if it's larger, otherwise checking the second against the third. Both examples take three double values, store them in variables, and use if/else logic to systematically compare the values and print the largest number.

    Example 1: Find Largest Among three numbers using if..

    else
    statement

    public class Largest {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

    double n1 = -4.5, n2 = 3.9, n3 = 2.5;

    if( n1 >= n2 && n1 >= n3)


    System.out.println(n1 + " is the largest number.");

    else if (n2 >= n1 && n2 >= n3)


    System.out.println(n2 + " is the largest number.");

    else
    System.out.println(n3 + " is the largest number.");
    }
    }

    Output

    3.9 is the largest number.

    In the above program, three numbers -4.5 , 3.9 and 2.5 are stored in variables n1 ,
    n2 and n3 respectively.

    Then, to find the largest, the following conditions are checked using if else statements

    If n1 is greater or equals to both n2 and n3 , n1 is the greatest.

    If n2 is greater or equals to both n1 and n3 , n2 is the greatest.

    Else, n3 is the greatest.

    The greatest number can also be found using a nested if..else statement.
    Example 2: Find the largest number among three using nested
    if..else statement

    public class Largest {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

    double n1 = -4.5, n2 = 3.9, n3 = 5.5;

    if(n1 >= n2) {


    if(n1 >= n3)
    System.out.println(n1 + " is the largest number.");
    else
    System.out.println(n3 + " is the largest number.");
    } else {
    if(n2 >= n3)
    System.out.println(n2 + " is the largest number.");
    else
    System.out.println(n3 + " is the largest number.");
    }
    }
    }

    Output

    5.5 is the largest number.

    In the above program, instead of checking for two conditions in a single if statement, we
    use nested if to find the greatest.

    Then, to find the largest, the following conditions are checked using if else statements

    If n1 is greater or equals to n2,

    and if n1 is greater or equals to n3 , n1 is the greatest.

    else, n3 is the greatest.

    Else,

    if n2 is greater or equals to both n3 , n2 is the greatest.


    else, n3 is the greatest.
