I need the code to determine the greatest of three numbers using if statements. I would like for the input to be entered via the user.

bbrainz 		Hello there,

You can try the below code:

<?php

$a = 240;
$b = 520;
$c = 322;

$max ='';

if($a > $b)
$max = $a;
else
$max = $b;

if($max < $c)
echo "Greatest number is: $c";
else
echo "Greatest number is: $max";

?>


Thanks.

phpdreams 		That would work for three numbers, but what if you have 20? I would put the values into an array then do an arsort() on the array. Then the first entry in the array would be the biggest.

You can also checkout the link below for a comparison of array sorting functions.
