For this problem, I wrote a solution and which is this:
#include
#include
using namespace std;
int main () {
int i = 1;
int n;
cin >> n;
int largest = INT_MIN;
int no;
while (i <= n) {
cin >> no;
if(largest < no){
largest = no;
}
i = i+1;
}
cout << "largest number : " << largest;
cout << endl;
return 0;
}
N.B: In my opinion, this should be work if I take more numbers than 3.
but, when I submitted this solution, I found out this is not the answer.
Then I again did some code with another technique and which is this:
#include
using namespace std;
int main() {
int a, b, c;
cin >> a >> b >> c;
int largest;
if (a >= b && a >= c)
largest = a;
else if (b >= a && b >= c)
largest = b;
else
largest = c;
// Output the result
cout << largest << endl;
return 0;
}
but, why this is the optimal answer and why the previous one is not the answer. please explain
