Hi how do you find the mean of 3 numbers if you can't use if statements, for loops, loops, arrays, basically nothing more advanced than Math.max function. |

haha.. now think about this.. if a person says he's an idiot.. you should never disagree.. by disagreeing you have acknowledge your self more of an idiot than he/she is.. so you should always agree  LOL |

 Probably not a good idea to say that aloud. Especially not on a forum that a few teachers lurk around on. |

I hate to extend an already overdone topic ... but
??? min(max(5,10),0) is 0 and clearly median is 5.  |

median=a+b+c-(a>=b&&a>=c?a  b>=a&&b>=c?b:c))-(a<=b&&a<=c?a b<=a&&b<=c?b:c));
equilvalently, median=a+b+c-Math.Max(Math.Max(a,b),c)-Math.Min(Math.Min(b,c),a); |
