Find Mean 3 Numbers

-----------------------------------

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.

I think maybe he's talking about "median".

Psuedocode:
max(min(number_1, number2), number_3)

i think you meant

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: LOL

I hate to extend an already overdone topic ... but
min(max(number_1, number_2), number_3) 
???
min(max(5,10),0)  is 0
and clearly median is 5.  :wink:

median=a+b+c-(a>=b&&a>=c?a:(b>=a&&b>=c?b:c))-(a
