Why I get !!!!!The program should display the numbers in descending order----If you enter the numbers 2, 1, 2, then the program should display: 2 2 1.!!!!!! error?

Question about the task

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { Scanner ad = new Scanner(System.in); int num1 = ad.nextInt(); int num2 = ad.nextInt(); int num3 = ad.nextInt(); if (num1>num2 && num2>num3) {System.out.println(num1 + " " + num2 + " " + num3);} else if (num1>num3 && num3>num2) {System.out.println(num1 + " " + num3 + " " + num2);} else if (num2>num1 && num1>num3) {System.out.println(num2 + " " + num1 + " " + num3);} else if (num2>num1 && num1>num3) {System.out.println(num2+ " " + num1 + " " + num3);} else if (num2>num3 && num3>num1) {System.out.println(num2 + " " + num3 + " " + num1);} else if (num3>num1 && num1>num2) {System.out.println(num3 + " " + num1 + " " + num2);} else {System.out.println(num3 + " " + num2 + " " + num1);} }

I did not understand what I had to do from your explanation. But I found the answer for my code. I had to take into account if num1 is equal to num3 to display them in descending order.

Ah. It seems your doing the opposite of what they want. See this statement here: if (num1>num2 && num2>num3) num1 is GREATER than num2, which is greater than num3/ The task asks you to: The program should display the numbers in descending order. However, if you type 3, 2, and 1, you would satisfy the first if statement, displaying 3 (num1) 2 (num2) 1 (num3) it should display: 1 2 3 Quick tip: Before you verify, run it. Contrary to what I'm hearing a lot, it seems that the scanner on the website uses stdin inputs. Although, I'm sure once it gets harder, it will start to require several inputs, which would make it all too confusing. Just put in what you need separated by lines on the website and it should function like you put them in 1 by 1
