#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
int a = 10, b = 2, c = 30, result;
result = a < b ? ((a < c) ? a: c) : ((b < c) ? b : c);
printf("%d\n",result);
return 0;

Answer / niranjan
main()
{
int a=5,b=2,c=3; /*Assuming a Use Case */
int d; /* d is required a temporary variable */
if(!(a/b)&& !(a/c))
{
d = a; /* Which means a is small */
}
else if ( !(b/a)&&!(b/c))
{
d = b; /* Which means b is small */
}
else
{
d = c;
}
printf("%d",d);

Answer / jb
The trick is to use the sign bit
void main() {
int a = 1;
int b = 2;
int c = 3;
int maximum = max(max(a,b),c);
}
int max(int a, int b) {
int diff = a - b;
int sign = (diff >> 31) & 0x1;
return a - (sign * diff);
}

s=a;
else
s=c;

Answer / sachin golechha
Try Doing this way::
main()
{
int a=10,b=7,c=13; /*Assuming a Use Case */
int d; /* d is required a temporary variable */
if((a-b))
{
d = b; /* Which means a was greater than b */
}
else
{
d = a; /* Which means b was greater than a */
}
if((d-c))
{
d = c; /* Which means d was greater than c */
}
else
{
d = d; /* Which means c was greater than d */
}
/* Thus d contains the smallest number of among the 3 */
return SUCCESS;
}
