Java Program to Find Minimum of Three

It is the basics of any programming language to compare three numbers and display the minimum of the three. Here, we will see a short java program to display the smallest number among three input numbers. This program takes first input as the number of sets of numbers (a set contains three numbers whose minimum is to be displayed). Then it takes numbers as sets of three numbers. for every three number, the java program displays the smallest of them. The following program does it. It makes use of the ternary operator (conditional operator) and Scanner class.

import java.util.Scanner;

public class MinOfThree {
public static void main(String[] arg)
 
    {
    Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
    int n=sc.nextInt(),a,b,c;
    while(n>0)
        {
        if((a=sc.nextInt())>(b=sc.nextInt()))
            System.out.println(b<(c=sc.nextInt())?b:c);
        else
            System.out.println(a<(c=sc.nextInt())?a:c);
        n--;
        }
    }
}
