Number Comparison?

[RedDucati748]

I’m working on a comparison program to take a look at three numbers that are pre-identified in the program. The user will have the ability to select the largest or smallest number by using the (S for Small, B for Biggest). The output to the user will be the smallest or biggest depending on their request. Have the following code below, but can’t get the thing to run.
Thanks-


#include <iostream.h>

void int biggest (char & task_to_do)

{

cout<<&quot;Enter the number you would like to see: B
for Biggest, S for Smallest&quot;;
cin>>task_to_do;
while (Task_to_do != 'B' && Task_to_do != 'S')
{
cout<<&quot;Incorrect Input, must be B or S, re-enter: &quot;;
cin>>task_to_do;
}
}

double biggest
{
double n1, n2, n3;
n1 = 14;
n2 = 26;
n3 = 5;
x = n1;
while (x <= n3)
{
if n1>n2>n3
{
return n1;
}
else if n2>n1>n3
{
return n2;
}
else n3>n1>n2
{
return n3;
}
cout<<endl;
}
count<<endl;
}


double smallest
{
double n1, n2, n3;
n1 = 14;
n2 = 26;
n3 = 5;
x = n1;
while (x <= n3)
{
if n1<n2<n3
{
return n1;
}
else if n2<n1<n3
{
return n2;
}
else n3<n1<n2
{
return n3;
}
cout<<endl;
}
count<<endl;
}




void main()

{
int biggest
char task_to_do;
more = 'Y';

while (more == 'Y')
{
int biggest ( task_to_do);
if (task_to_do == 'B')
{
cout<<&quot;The biggest number in the comparison is:
&quot;<<number<<endl<<endl;
}
else
{
cout<<&quot;The smallest number in the comparison is:
&quot;<<number<<endl<<endl;
}
cout<<&quot;Do another comparison? (Y/N): &quot;;
cin>>more;
}

cout<<endl<<endl<<&quot;******End
Program******&quot;<<endl<<endl;
}

The problem is in the

if n2<n1<n3

sequences. To the compiler, it could do

n2 < n1 first which may produce either 1 or 0 depending on whether it is true or false. Then it generates 0 < n3 or 1 < n3, which isn't what you really want. This has to be changed to

if (n2 < n1 && n1 < n3)

You will need the brackets too otherwise it wont compile.
