Introduction

Hi everyone today we find the Greatest of the Two Numbers in Javascript. let's discuss how to solve this problem statement. if you want to check out yesterday's problem click here.

The goal is to create a Javascript program that compares the two integer inputs Number1 and Number2 and finds the greater of the two numbers. To do this, we'll employ if-else clauses and print the result. Below are a few solutions to the problem indicated above.

• Method 1: Using if-else Statement

• Method 2: Using Ternary Operator

• Method 3: Using the inbuilt max function

All the above-mentioned methods are discussed in detail in this article.

Method 1: Using if-else Statement

Algorithm

• step 1: Take two number inputs from the user

• step 2: check if both numbers are equal, print "Equal" if true

• step 3: check if number 1 > number 2 print "Number 1 is greater" if true

• step 4: check if number 1 < number 2 print "Number 2 is greater" if true

• step 5: stop

Javascript Code

// using if-else statements
let num1 = 10,num2 = 20;
// console.log(num1,num2)
if(num1 == num2){
 console.log("both are equal")   
}else if(num1>num2){
    console.log(num1+" is greater")
}else{
    console.log(num2+" is greater")
}

Output

20 is greater

Method 2: Using Ternary Operator

Algorithm

• step 1: Take two number inputs from the user

• step 2: Initialize temporary value

• step 3: check if both numbers are equal, print "Equal" if true

• step 4: Check for the greatest among the two using Ternary Operator and store it into a temporary variable.

• step 5: print the temporary number

Javascript Code

// ternary operator
let num1 = 10,num2 = 20, temp;
if(num1 == num2){
    console.log("both are equals")
}else {
    temp = num1 > num2 ? num1 : num2;
    console.log(temp+ " is largest")
}

Output

20 is largest

Method 3: Using the inbuilt max function

Algorithm

• step 1: Take two number inputs from the user

• step 2: Call the inbuilt max function with number1 and number2 as arguments.

• step 3: Print the returned value.

Javascript Code

// Using inbuilt max Function
let num1 = 12,num2 = 21;
if(num1 == num2){
    console.log("Both are equal")
}else{
    // Math.max(num1,num2) is used for finding maximum number.
    console.log(Math.max(num1,num2)+" is greater")
}

Output

21 is greater

Conclusion

So this article we solved the problem statement using javascript language. I hope you found this article helpful for your web development journey.
