C program to find the largest of three numbers using ternary operator

In this article we will learn to implement a C program to find the largest of three numbers using ternary operator. A C program is provided below to read three numbers and print the biggest or largest of these numbers.

Program is as follows:

//C program to find the largest of three numbers using ternary operator
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
	int a, b, c, larg;
	printf("Enter first number: ");
	scanf("%d", &a);
	printf("Enter second number: ");
	scanf("%d", &b);
	printf("Enter third number: ");
	scanf("%d", &c);
	larg = (a>b)?((a>c)?a:c):((b>c)?b:c);
	printf("Largest number is: %d", larg);
	getch();
}

Input and output for the above program is as follows:

Enter first number: 5
Enter second number: 2
Enter third number: 9
Largest number is: 9
