Maximum of 3 numbers: Mrs. Anitha , our favourite Maths teacher wanted to teach her new batch of students to find maximum among three numbers.
Write a program to accept 3 integers and find maximum among 3 numbers using functions and pointers.

Function Specification:

This function returns the maximum among 3 numbers.

Input Format:
Input consists of 3 integers.

Output Format:
Refer the sample output.
[All text in bold corresponds to input and the rest corresponds to output.]

Sample Input and Output :
Enter the value of a
5
Enter the value of b
6
Enter the value of c
2
Maximum element is 6

Solution

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    int a, b, c;
    cout << "Enter the value of a\n";
    cin >> a;
    cout << "Enter the value of b\n";
    cin >> b;
    cout << "Enter the value of c\n";
    cin >> c;
    
    if (a > b && a > c)
    {
        cout << "Maximum element is " << a;
    }
    else if (b > a && b > c)
    {
        cout << "Maximum element is " << b;
    }
    else
    {
        cout << "Maximum element is " << c;
    }
    
    return 0;
