Problem with making the numbers display in ascending order?

[gardheere50]

import java.util.Scanner;
public class Order3

	{
		 public static void main (String[] args)
	{
		Scanner scan = new Scanner (System.in);
		System.out.println("Enter number 1");
		int Number1 = scan.nextInt();

		System.out.println("Enter number 2");
		int Number2 = scan.nextInt();

		System.out.println("Enter number 3");
		int Number3 = scan.nextInt();



		if(Number1 > Number2 && Number1 > Number3 && Number2 > Number3) {
		System.out.println(Number3 + " " + Number2 + " " + Number1);
		}

		if(Number2 > Number1 && Number2 > Number3 && Number1 > Number3){
		System.out.println(Number2 + " " + Number1 + " " + Number3);
		}

		if(Number2 > Number1 && Number2 > Number3 && Number1  < Number3){
		System.out.println(Number3 + " " + Number2 + " " + Number1);
		}

		if(Number3 > Number1 && Number3 > Number2 && Number2 > Number1){
		System.out.println(Number2 + " " + Number3 + " " + Number1);
		}

		if(Number3 > Number1 && Number3 > Number2 && Number2 < Number1){
		System.out.println(Number1 + " " + Number3 + " " + Number2);
		}

	}
}

Also I want to make this program except numbers that are the same like if the user writes "1 2 1 3" I want the program to display these numbers in order like "1123"..I hope thats makes sense...

Please guys help me..dont just view and move on to next post..

1. Bumping a thread after just one hour is rude.

2. Please go through Guide For New Members and BB Code List - Java Programming Forum and edit your post accordingly.

Followed the rules..sorry about that..now whats next and How can I get a solution to my problem..

Ask a specific question. I have no idea where you are stuck. "I have no idea how to do this" is not specific and not a question.

[gardheere50]

basically the program works, however rather than sorting the numbers the user inputted into an ascending order it sorts it in descending order, which where the problem lies. I want to the program to sort the numbers in ascending order...it doesn't do that and Also I want to make this program except numbers that are the same like if the user writes "1 2 1 3" I want the program to display these numbers in order like "1123"..I hope thats makes sense...

So you code is working except you have the output in the wrong order.

int num1 = 20;
int num2 = 10;
if(num1 > num2) {
    System.out.println(num1 + " " + num2);
}

In the above code it will print "20 10". If you want it to print "10 20" instead surely you can figure out what simple change needs to be made.

[gardheere50]

thanks..but my is longer and hard to actually change to make it sort the numbers in ascending order.

[Junky]

HTF is it harder to change?

System.out.println(Number1 + " " + Number2 + " " + Number3);

This is what you currently have displaying the numbers in the wrong order. So simply swap Number1 and Number3.

[gardheere50]

but if I run the program after making the changes and I type in these numbers in this order "1, 3 , 2 " the program outputs " 2, 3 , 1..thats the confusing part for me..I have been trying to make it all day long...

[Junky]

Then your conditions in the if statements are incorrect. Since you have not posted your updated code nobody can help you.

[gardheere50]

sorry I have updated the code..

[Junky]

Any chance you will show it to us? Or should we just guess?

[gardheere50]

in line 20 I have changed the numbers around as you have suggested but still the code does not sort the numbers in ascending order

[Junky]

Ffs, show your code!

[gardheere50]

		if(Number2 > Number1 && Number2 > Number3 && Number1 > Number3){
		System.out.println(Number2 + " " + Number1 + " " + Number3);
		}

[Junky]

If your input is 1 3 2 then the if statement above will not be true as Number1 is not greater than Number3. So it must be entering a different if statement. One which you have not shown. You really do not want my help do you? Show your entire code!

import java.util.Scanner;
public class Order3

	{
		 public static void main (String[] args)
	{
		Scanner scan = new Scanner (System.in);
		System.out.println("Enter number 1");
		int Number1 = scan.nextInt();

		System.out.println("Enter number 2");
		int Number2 = scan.nextInt();

		System.out.println("Enter number 3");
		int Number3 = scan.nextInt();



		if(Number1 > Number2 && Number1 > Number3 && Number2 > Number3) {
		System.out.println(Number3 + " " + Number2 + " " + Number1);
		}

		if(Number2 > Number1 && Number2 > Number3 && Number1 > Number3){
		System.out.println(Number2 + " " + Number1 + " " + Number3);
		}

		if(Number2 > Number1 && Number2 > Number3 && Number1  < Number3){
		System.out.println(Number3 + " " + Number2 + " " + Number1);
		}

		if(Number3 > Number1 && Number3 > Number2 && Number2 > Number1){
		System.out.println(Number2 + " " + Number3 + " " + Number1);
		}

		if(Number3 > Number1 && Number3 > Number2 && Number2 < Number1){
		System.out.println(Number1 + " " + Number3 + " " + Number2);
		}

	}
}

No pretend you are the computer. Which of those if statements will be true if the input is 1 3 2?
1 is not greater than 3 so the first one is false.
Keep going for all of them and test it for yourself. One problem is for 3 numbers there are 6 possible combinations and yet you only have 5 if/print statements.
