Question

2. Where's the Biggest One?

by CodeChum Admin

We've already tried comparing 3 numbers to see the largest among all, so let's try a more complicated mission where we locate the position of the largest among 5 numbers. There are only 4 possible cases for this mission:

- if the largest digit is the first digit, print "Leftmost"

- if the largest digit is the third digit, print "Middle"

- if the largest digit is the last digit, print "Rightmost"

- if none of the above is correct, print "Unknown"

Now, show me how far you've understood your lessons!

Input

A line containing a five-digit integer.

1·4·6·3·2

Output

A line containing a string.

Middle

Answer 1

import java.util.Scanner;


public class App {


	public static void main(String[] args) {
		Scanner keyBoard = new Scanner(System.in);
		String numbers[] = keyBoard.nextLine().trim().split(" ");
		int number = Integer.parseInt(numbers[0]);
		int max = number;
		int maxIndex = 0;
		for (int j = 0; j < numbers.length; j++) {
			number = Integer.parseInt(numbers[j]);
			if (number > max) {
				max=number;
				maxIndex = j;
			}
		}
		// - if the largest digit is the first digit, print "Leftmost"
		if (maxIndex <= 1) {
			System.out.println("Leftmost");
		}else
		// - if the largest digit is the third digit, print "Middle"
		if (maxIndex == 2) {
			System.out.println("Middle");
		}else
		// - if the largest digit is the last digit, print "Rightmost"
		if (maxIndex >2) {
			System.out.println("Rightmost");
		}else
		// - if none of the above is correct, print "Unknown"
		{
			System.out.println("Unknown");
		}
		keyBoard.close();
	}
