#include<iostream .h>
#include<conio .h>
 
void main()
{
int a, b, c;
clrscr();
 
cout< <"Enter 3 no's\n";
cin>>a>>b>>c;
 
int big =  ( a>b && a>c )?a:(b>c?b:c);
/*
if( a > b && a > c )
  big = a;
else if( b > c )
  big = b;
else
  big = c;
*/cout< <"\nAmong "<<a<<" , "<<b<<" , "<<c<<" Biggest is "<<big;
getch();
}

In this program we take 3 integer values from the user and using ternary operator decide the biggest of 3 numbers.

int big =  ( a>b && a>c )?a:(b>c?b:c);

if ( a > b && a > c ) is true, then value of a will be stored in variable big; else ( b > c ? b : c ) will be evaluated. Here, if value of b is greater than c, value of b will be stored in variable big else value of c will be stored in the variable big.
