This code performs the following tasks:
-
Includes the Standard Input/Output library: The
#include <stdio.h>
directive is included to use input and output functions, such asscanf
andprintf
. -
Defines the
maxmin
function:- The
maxmin
function takes three integers (prob1
,prob2
,prob3
) as well as two pointers (*max
and*min
). - It calculates the maximum and minimum values among the three integers and stores the results in the memory locations pointed to by the
*max
and*min
pointers, respectively. - The implementation iterates through the input integers
prob1
,prob2
, andprob3
, and updates the maximum (*max
) and minimum (*min
) values accordingly.
- The
-
Calculates the maximum and minimum values provided by the user:
- In the
main
function:- It declares variables
x
,y
, andz
to read three integers entered by the user viascanf
. - If the input isn't exactly three integers, it prints
"n/a"
and terminates the program with a return code0
. - If input is valid, it declares variables
max
andmin
to store the calculated maximum and minimum values. - It calls the
maxmin
function, passing the user inputsx
,y
, andz
, as well as the addresses (&max
,&min
) where themax
andmin
values should be stored. - Finally, it prints the maximum and minimum values.
- It declares variables
- In the
-
Outputs the calculation results:
- After the
maxmin
function is executed, the program outputs the calculated maximum and minimum values separated by a space.
- After the
Example Execution:
Input:
5 10 3
Execution Process:
x = 5
,y = 10
,z = 3
maxmin(5, 10, 3, &max, &min)
gets invoked.- Inside
maxmin
:*max
and*min
are initialized toprob1
(5).prob2
(10) updates*max
to 10 since it's greater than the current value of*max
(5).prob2
(10) does not update*min
because it's greater than the current value of*min
(5).prob3
(3) does not update*max
because it's less than the current value of*max
(10).prob3
(3) updates*min
to 3 because it's less than the current value of*min
(5).
max = 10
,min = 3
.- The program prints
10 3
.
Output:
10 3
This code is functional, and the maxmin
function logically handles determining the maximum and minimum values. There are no errors or bugs in the implementation.
