Finding Maximum Of 3 Numbers

[sonal]

What is wrong with following neseted if conditions? This program shows wrong result to compare 3 integer numbers and find out maximum number. I'm so confused. This program gives a wrong maximum number.

 

 

var a = prompt("Enter first number");

var b = prompt("Enter second number");

var c = prompt("Enter third number");

 

var answer;

 

document.getElementById("no1").innerHTML = "a : " + a;

document.getElementById("no2").innerHTML = "b : " + b;

document.getElementById("no3").innerHTML = "c : " + c;

 

if(a > {

if (a > c) {

//alert("a is maximu : " + a);

answer = a +" a is maximum";

} else {

//alert("c1 is max : " + c);

answer = c + " c1 is maximum";

}

}

else {

 

if(b > c) {

 

answer = b +" b is maximum";

}

else {

//alert("c2 is maximum : " + c);

answer = c + " c2 is maximum";

}

}

 

document.getElementById("show").innerHTML = answer;

I got it corrected. a, b and c values were coming from text type form fields. So they were comparing as strings rather than numbers. I had to use parseInt function to convert them to numbers before comparing them. That is a simple example to show how to use nested if.

 

Thanks for looking....
