Question

I need to write a program which gets two numbers from the console and prints the greater of them.

However - I must do it without implementing the if statements.

Examples:

Answer 1

You can use the Math.Max Method (Double, Double) for this purpose.

It returns the larger of two double-precision floating-point numbers: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7x97k0y4%28v=vs.110%29.aspx

So the code will look like this:

using System;

class NumberComparer
{
    static void Main()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Please write the first number to compare: ");
        double firstNumber = double.Parse(Console.ReadLine());

        Console.WriteLine("Please write the second number to compare: ");
        double secondNumber = double.Parse(Console.ReadLine());

        double compareNumbers = Math.Max(firstNumber, secondNumber);
        Console.WriteLine("Number {0} is greater",compareNumbers);
    }
}
