I am trying to learn Java and one of the test exercises wants me to write a program that takes three integers as input and then sorts them from lowest to highest...
So for example if the input is "3" "1" and "6", the output would be "1", "3", "6" It sounds really simple in my head but for some reason I'm having problems looking at it from an algortihmic perspective. I've tried doing something like this: // Declare the variables to hold the numbers int num1, num2, num3; // Code to get input from user goes here // Declare variables for output int firstLargest, secondLargest, thirdLargest = 0; // Here is where I get stuck. I tried to set firstLargest equal to num1 one and then compare the other two numbers to firstLargest, and that will get me the largest one of the three, but I can't figure out what to do with the other two numbers. I think what I truely need help with to learn programming is not so much how to write code, it's how to approach the problem I'm trying to solve programmatically in a logical, algorithmic way...... Anyway, you now know what I'm trying to do. Any help or guidance would be most appreciated.
