I am writing a small console application in C# using Visual Studio.
I want to write two small programs, both will take six integers entered via the console and then the if statements will compare all six values and the end result will be console outputs printing the six values entered and the values in order from highest to the lowest. I am racking my brains trying to figure out how to do this.
Once I have done this I will write a second program to do this using a list which I think will be neater.
So I think there should be six integers to hold the entered values, then six integers to hold the ordered values, with if statements in between to work out the order of highest to lowest.
I tried to do the nested if’s but it got messy I decided to scrap it and start again.
I would appreciate any help with this.
Here is the kind of code I was writing:
int one;
int two;
int three;
int four;
int five;
int six;
int firsthighest;
int secondhighest;
int thirdhighest;
int fourthhighest;
int fifthhighest;
int sixthhighest;
Console.WriteLine("Enter a value");
one = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
Console.WriteLine("Enter a value");
two = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
Console.WriteLine("Enter a value");
three = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
Console.WriteLine("Enter a value");
four = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
Console.WriteLine("Enter a value");
five = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
Console.WriteLine("Enter a value");
six = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
if (one > two)
{
if (one > three)
{
if (one > four)
{
if (one > five)
{
if (one > six)
{
firsthighest = one;
}
}
}
}
}
else if (two > three)
{
if (two > four)
{
if (two > five)
{
if (two > six)
{
firsthighest = two;
}
}
}
}
else if (three > four)
{
if (three > five)
{
if (three > six)
{
firsthighest = three;
}
}
}
Is this homework?
I’d suggest skipping the if’s and go right to your 2nd program – put all 6 in an array and sort it.
