Find greatest of three numbers using nested if else statement in C Language

Introduction: In the previous article i explained the program for Else if ladder to perform operation on two numbers based on operator and Find greatest of two numbers using conditional operator and What is For loop in C language? Program to print counting up to given limit and What is goto statement in C language,its advantages and disadvantages with program example and Find greatest of three numbers using multiple if statement and Find week days corresponding to number using switch case. and How to swap two numbers without using temporary variable in C Language? and Check whether a number is positive or negative using if else and Check whether a number is even or odd using if else .
Now in this article i have written a program in C language to Find greatest of three numbers using nested if else statement.

Implementation: Let's create a program to understand better.

#include<conio.h>
#include<stdio.h>
main()
{
      int a,b,c;
      printf("Enter first number: ");
      scanf("%d",&a);
      printf("Enter second number: ");
      scanf("%d",&b);
      printf("Enter third number: ");
      scanf("%d",&c);   
         if(a>b)
            {
                     if(a>c)
                     {
                      printf("%d is biggest number",a);
                     }
                      else
                     {
                        printf("%d is biggest number",c);
                     }
           }       
      else
      {
                     if(b>c)
                     {
                     printf("%d is biggest number",b);
                     }
                     else
                     {
                     printf("%d is biggest number",c); 
                     }
      }
      getch();
      }

  • Now run the program using Ctrl+F9
Output:

Enter first number: 12
Enter second number: 90
Enter third number: 8
90 is biggest number
