Minimum of three numbers

7
Locked

"Don't compare me with others!" she cried. But comparisons are unavoidable in this world. Especially in programming. Let's take three numbers, look at them, and figure out which one is the smallest. We'll do this using a program, more precisely, a special min method that calculates which number is smaller than the other two.

The key is to create two methods: min1() and min2() in order to compare one pair at time. Then compare two methods only.

Como lo logré:

if (a <= b && a <= c){
        return a;
        }
if (b <= a && b <= c){
        return b;
        }
if (c <= a && c <= b){
        return c;
        }
else
return 0;

Si te está dando problemas esta tarea, prueba con comparar también por igualación ( a <= b && a <= b ) Mucho ánimo! If you are having problems with this task, try to compare also by equalization ( a <= b && a <= b ). Cheer up!

It was tricky to achieve the goal using if, && operator, else if. There were two same values and it made my program working the wrong way. Instead, I took a two-step approach. First, compare a and b, then save min. Next, compare min and c.

I solved the task with 2x Math.min() method and it works :)

i solved the task creating another method min(int a, int b). You can create a method who compare the values of "a" and "b" to see which of them is the minimum. After you can declare a new variable on method min(x, x,x) referenced to the previus method "m2 = min(x,x)" and do the comparation
