and maximum of two positive integers.
Input. Two positive integers a and b (a, b
≤ 109).

SOLUTION
conditional statement
Algorithm analysis
Compare two
numbers and first
print the smaller one, followed by the larger one.
The second
solution involves
checking if a > b. If true, swap their values
using a third variable. Then, print the numbers a and b.
Algorithm implementation
Read the input data.
scanf("%d
%d",&a,&b);
Compare and print the numbers in the required order.
if (a < b)
printf("%d %d\n",a,b);
else
printf("%d %d\n",b,a);
Algorithm implementation – swap
Read the input data.
scanf("%d
%d",&a,&b);
If a > b, swap the values of a and b.
if (a > b)
{
temp = a; a = b; b = temp;
}
Print the values a and b, where a ≤ b.
printf("%d
%d\n",a,b);
Algorithm implementation – ternary operator
Read the input data.
scanf("%d
%d",&a,&b);
Compute the minimum min and maximum max values between the two
numbers a and b.
min = (a < b) ? a : b;
max = (a > b) ? a : b;
Print the minimum min and maximum max of the two numbers
a and b.
printf("%d
%d\n",min,max);
Algorithm implementation – using the functions
#include <stdio.h>
int a, b;
int min(int
a, int b)
{
return (a < b) ? a : b;
}
int max(int
a, int b)
{
return (a > b) ? a : b;
}
int main(void)
{
scanf("%d %d",&a,&b);
printf("%d %d\n",min(a,b),max(a,b));
return 0;
}
Java implementation
import java.util.*;
public class Main
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Scanner con = new Scanner(System.in);
int a = con.nextInt();
int b = con.nextInt();
System.out.println(Math.min(a,b) + " " + Math.max(a,b));
con.close();
}
}
Python implementation
Read the input data.
a, b = map(int, input().split())
If a > b, swap the values of a and b.
if a > b:
a, b = b, a
Print the values a and b, where a ≤ b.
print(a, b)
