Output

Solution

LargestThreeNumbers.java

import java.util.Scanner;

public class LargestThreeNumbers {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

        System.out.print("Enter the first number (x): ");
        int x = input.nextInt();
        System.out.print("Enter the second number (y): ");
        int y = input.nextInt();
        System.out.print("Enter the third number (z): ");
        int z = input.nextInt();

        if (x > y && x > z) {
            System.out.println(x);
        } else if (y > x && y > z) {
            System.out.println(y);
        } else if (z > x && z > y) {
            System.out.println(z);
        } else {
            System.out.println(x); // Equally large
        }
    }
