Sorting using Max and Min

[mia023]

Is it possible to sort 3 integers in either descending/ascending order using ONLY Math.min and Math.max?
Cannot use the "if", "while", "for", "switch" keywords.

Can you use a list or an array?

May be ternary operator can help u....

Well the maximum value of x, y and z is max(x, max(y, z)); I sure you can complete
it from here.

I expect the problem is determing the middle element.

[rohitchawla]

i think middle element can be determined from x,y,z like this
correct me if i am wrong

min(min(max(x,y ),max(x,z)),min (max(x,y),max(y ,z)))

[JosAH]

i think middle element can be determined from x,y,z like this
correct me if i am wrong

min(min(max(x,y ),max(x,z)),min (max(x,y),max(y ,z)))

Nah way too complicated; spoiler ahead:







































x+y+z-min-max is the middle element.
