Answer to Question #351000 in C++ for Noelle

Question

Write a function called maximum() that accepts three integer

numbers as parameters. The maximum() that returns maximum value

of three arguments that are passed to the function when it is

called. Assume that all three arguments will be of the same data

type.

Answer 1

#include <iostream>

template<typename num>

num maximum(num a, num b, num c) {
    if (a > b && a > c) {
        return a;
    } else if (b > c) {
        return b;
    } else {
        return c;
    }
}

int main()
{
    int a = 42;
    int b = 20;
    int c = 12;

    float d = 19.07;
    float e = 19.09;
    float f = 19.01;

    double j = 16.0475;
    double k = 16.0155;
    double l = 16.0622;

    std::cout << maximum(a, b, c) << "\n";
    std::cout << maximum(d, e, f) << "\n";
    std::cout << maximum(j, k, l) << std::endl;
    return 0;
}
