C++ coding question!

[pwuest2]

So I know this is a little off kilter for the LTT forum, but i figured I could find some help here. So I just started getting into coding ( C++ ) and am tasked with making a code that allows the user to type in 3 integers, then tells them the sum, product, average, the smallest and largest number. So I am able to get a code that displays the sum, product and average, yet the smallest and largest are my problems. I know that I have to use an if statement, yet idk how to use it with the numbers ive assigned. My code so far is listed below  and any help would be great. Keep in mind ive started code a few days ago so don't correct me on if its sloppy or not 100% right. It works as of now and does what I want it too and that's all I want as of now.  

 

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

 

int main()

 

{

int number1;

int number2;

int number3;

 

cout << "Input three different integers \n";

 

cin >> number1 >> number2 >> number3;

 

cout << "The sum is " << number1 + number2 + number3 << "\n";

cout << "The product is " << number1 * number2 * number3 << "\n";

cout << "The average is " << (number1 + number2 + number3) / 3 << "\n";

 

if (number1 <= number2)

cout << "The smallest number is " << number1;

 

}

I believe your logic is right ,but there is something in your syntacs that seems abit iffy.

You need to throw an && in there that will compare number1 with both number2 and number3 to ensure that it is indeed the smallest/largest.

Is there a name for &&? Because this is for school and im going to be asked what that is by the teacher.

if(number1 <= number2){      if(number1 <= number3)           print 1;      else           print 3;} else if(number2 <= number3)      print 2;else       print 3;

It's the sign you use in an if statement to allow the if statement to verify two conditions and require both be true. || would be &&'s counterpart, which allows for either condition to be true.

if ((number1<=number2)&&(number1<=number3))    cout<<"The smallest number is "<<number1;else    {    if (number2<=number3)        cout<<"The smallest number is "<<number2;    else        cout<<"The smallest number is "<<number3;    }

there are better ways to do this involving sorting, but this is the way you started doing it so i just finished in the same way

Thanks for the suggestions!
