Example: Greatest of Three using Sequential Ternary Operator in Java

// Greatest of Three using Sequential Ternary Operator
import java.util.Scanner;

// Main class containing the entry point of the program
public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Step 1: Initialize Scanner for user input
        Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);

        // Step 2: Prompt user to enter three numbers
        System.out.print("Enter first number: ");
        int num1 = scanner.nextInt();

        System.out.print("Enter second number: ");
        int num2 = scanner.nextInt();

        System.out.print("Enter third number: ");
        int num3 = scanner.nextInt();

        // Step 3: Find the greatest between the first two numbers
        int greatestOfTwo = (num1 > num2) ? num1 : num2;

        // Step 4: Compare this result with the third number
        int greatest = (greatestOfTwo > num3) ? greatestOfTwo : num3;

        // Step 5: Display the greatest number
        System.out.println("The greatest number is: " + greatest);

        // Step 6: Close the scanner
        scanner.close();
    }
