Determine the largest number among three numbers using C++

Question

How can I determine the largest number among three numbers using C++?

I need to simplify this

 w=(z>((x>y)?x:y)?z:((x>y)?x:y));

Answer 1

Use the simple if condition

int w = x;

if(y > w)
  w = y;
if(z > w)
  w = z;

Where w is the max among three.
