Hi
I am trying to develop a program which can type the lowest of 3 given integers. I have tried using the "IF-else" statement, but I still think there is a simpler way to do it. I also heard of something called the "Switch Case" Statement, which I am not very sure of. Someone also told me to use the "MIN VALUE" statement. How do I use this. Some help from all of you will be greatly appreciated

public class MathHack {
public static int min(int i, int j, int k) {
return i < j && i < k ? i : min(j, k, i);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("min = "+min(3,1,2));
}
}
> min(3,3,3);
You have to go and break it, eh?

public class MathHack {
public static int min(int i, int j, int k) {
return i <= j && i <= k ? i : min(j, k, i);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("min = "+min(3,1,2));
}
}
What I am actually trying to do is store this calculation inside an ActionListener
My code for this particular area as as follows:
if (e.getSource()==calcGrat) {
actGrat = Integer.parseInt(actualGratField.getText());
servicePeriod = Integer.parseInt(numServiceField.getText());
govtGratLimit = 350000;
lastDrawSalMain = Integer.parseInt(salField.getText());
lastDrawSal = lastDrawSalMain/12;
formulaTaxCalc = 15/26 * (lastDrawSal * servicePeriod);
if (actGrat < govtGratLimit) {
noGrat = actGrat;
} else if (actGrat < formulaTaxCalc) {
actGrat = noGrat;
} else if (govtGratLimit < actGrat) {
noGrat = govtGratLimit;
} else if (govtGratLimit < formulaTaxCalc) {
noGrat = govtGratLimit;
} else if (formulaTaxCalc < actGrat) {
noGrat = formulaTaxCalc;
} else if (formulaTaxCalc < govtGratLimit) {
noGrat = formulaTaxCalc;
}
taxableGrat = actGrat - noGrat;
I have been using If-else statements, but I am not getting the desired results. There seems to be a major flaw in this design.
Please have a look and let me know
Thank you

Yeah don't do that. Doubles are not good for financial figures.
