Functions|||| hackerrank || C++ language || programming_info

Functions are a bunch of statements glued together. A function is provided with zero or more arguments, and it executes the statements on it. Based on the return type, it either returns nothing (void) or something.

A sample syntax for a function is

return_type function_name(arg_type_1 arg_1, arg_type_2 arg_2, ...) {
    ...
    ...
    ...
    [if return_type is non void]
        return something of type `return_type`;
}

For example, a function to read four variables and return the sum of them can be written as

int sum_of_four(int a, int b, int c, int d) {
    int sum = 0;
    sum += a;
    sum += b;
    sum += c;
    sum += d;
    return sum;
}

---

You have to write a function int max_of_four(int a, int b, int c, int d) which reads four arguments and returns the greatest of them.

+= : Add and assignment operator. It adds the right operand to the left operand and assigns the result to the left operand.
a += b is equivalent to a = a + b;

Input Format

Input will contain four integers -  , one in each line.

Output Format

Print the greatest of the four integers.
PS: I/O will be automatically handled.

Sample Input

3
4
6
5

Sample Output

6

Now here's the solution in C++:-

code snippet:
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdio>
using namespace std;
int max_of_four(int a,int b,int c,int d)
{
    int s;
    if(a>=b && a>=c && a>=d)
    s=a;
    else if(b>=a && b>=c && b>=d)
    s=b;   
    else if(c>=a && c>=b && c>=d)
    s=c;
    else
    s=d;
    return s;
}
/*
Add `int max_of_four(int a, int b, int c, int d)` here.
*/
int main() {
    int a, b, c, d;
    scanf("%d %d %d %d", &a, &b, &c, &d);
    int ans = max_of_four(a, b, c, d);
    printf("%d", ans);
    return 0;
}
