Java program to find largest of four numbers using nested if

Let’s learn java program to find largest of four numbers using nested if.

Java program to find largest of four numbers using nested if

In below java program first user is asked to enter four numbers one by one using nextInt() method of Scanner class.

These four numbers are stored in four integer variables number1, number2, number3 and number4. Then using else if statement in java largest number is found among four numbers.

Here’s the program to find largest of four numbers using nested if.

import java.util.Scanner;
public class LargestOfFourNumbers 
{
   public static void main(String[] args) 
   {
      Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
      System.out.println("Please enter first number: ");
      int number1 = sc.nextInt();
      System.out.println("Please enter second number: ");
      int number2 = sc.nextInt();
      System.out.println("Please enter third number: ");
      int number3 = sc.nextInt();
      System.out.println("Please enter fourth number: ");
      int number4 = sc.nextInt();
      if(number1 > number2)
      {
         if(number1 > number3)
         {
            if(number1 > number4)
            {  
               System.out.println("Largest of four numbers is: " + number1);
            }
            else
            {
               System.out.println("Largest of four numbers is: " + number4);
            }
         }
      }
      else if(number2 > number3)
      {
         if(number2 > number4)
         {
            System.out.println("Largest of four numbers is: " + number2);
         }
         else
         {
            System.out.println("Largest of four numbers is: " + number4);
         }
      }
      else if(number3 > number4)
      {
         System.out.println("Largest of four numbers is: " + number3);
      }
      else
      {
         System.out.println("Largest of four numbers is: " + number4);
      }
      sc.close();
   }
}

Output:

Please enter first number: 18
Please enter second number: 43
Please enter third number: 98
Please enter fourth number: 28
Largest of four numbers is: 98
