I am trying to find the Median of the three user entered numbers. Please see below code, any help is appreciated and a newbie explanation of why. From what I understand they should be sorted into a list and then the middle number found. I am trying to output the below in a robust way in case I want to ask the user for 4 numbers.

I am trying to output: Numbers entered: x, y, z
Minimum Value: a
Median Value: b

using System;



public class Assignment

{

    public static void Main()

    {

        int num1; 

        int num2; 

        int num3;

        Console.WriteLine("Enter 3 numbers");



        num1 = Int32.Parse(Console.ReadLine());

        num2 = Int32.Parse(Console.ReadLine());

        num3 = Int32.Parse(Console.ReadLine());



        Console.WriteLine("Numbers entered: {0}  {1}  {2}", num1, num2, num3);

 if(num1<num2)

    if(num2<num3)

        {

        Console.WriteLine("Minimum Value:"+num1);

        }

        else

        {

        Console.WriteLine("Minimum Value:"+num3);

        }

        else

        if(num2<num3)

        {

        Console.WriteLine( "Minimum Value:"+num2);

        }

        else

        {

        Console.WriteLine("Minimum Value:"+num3 );

        }

    }

}

You're code won't compile how it's written right now, but I can see what you're trying to do. You could change it up so it would compile, but it's not the a particularly efficient way of solving it.

Right now, I think you're attempting to write code to check each scenario of the potential order of numbers. You can do it for 3 numbers relatively easy, but what if you want to extend your code to check a list of 10 or 100 numbers?

I think you should add user input to a list, sort the list, then just return the middle value of the list. It's less code and more reliable.

public class FindMedian

{

    public List<int> numbersList = new List<int>(); // list to store user input



    // constructor 

    public FindMedian(int n)

    {

        Console.WriteLine("Please Enter " + n + " numbers. nn");



        for (int i = 1; i < n + 1; i++)

        {

            Console.WriteLine("Number " + i + " : ");



            numbersList.Add(GetUserInput()); // call's GetUserInput

        }



        PrintData();

    }



    // returns int from Console. Will continue to run until a valid int is entered 

    private int GetUserInput() 

    {

        int temp = 0;

        bool numberValid = false;



        while (!numberValid)

        {

            try

            {

                temp = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());

                numberValid = true;

            }



            catch

            {

                Console.WriteLine("Invalid entry. Please try again.n");

                numberValid = false;

            }

        }



        return temp;

    }



    // prints data after user enteres the correct number of ints 

    private void PrintData()

    {

        // If list contains no data

        if (numbersList.Count < 3)

        {

            Console.WriteLine("No User Data Entered");

            return;

        }



        numbersList.Sort(); // Sorts list from smallest to largest



        int minimum = numbersList[0];

        int median;



        // if list count is even and median is average of two middle numbers

        if (numbersList.Count % 2 == 0)

        {

            median = (numbersList[(numbersList.Count / 2) - 2] + numbersList[(numbersList.Count / 2) - 1] / 2);

        }



        // if list count is odd and median is just middle number

        else 

        {

            median = numbersList[(numbersList.Count / 2)];

        }



        Console.WriteLine("Minimum Number : " + minimum);

        Console.WriteLine("Median Number : " + median);

    }

}

Smells like homework

int num1 = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine()); 

int num2 = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());

int num3 = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());

List<int> list1 = new List<int>(); 

list1.Add(num1); 

list1.Add(num2); 

list1.Add(num3); 

Console.WriteLine($"Min:{list.Min()}"); 



list1.Sort();

int c = list1.Count()%2==0?list1.Count()+1:list1.Count();



 int Med = list1[c/2];

//Console.WriteLine($"Max:{list1.Max()");

I'm on phone so formatting my code is a hard ..
You can skip the creation of three ints and use a

list1.Add(Int.Parse(Console.ReadLine()));

if you wish or for 'n' numbers

bool b = true;

int num=0;

List<int>() l = new List<int>();

Do{

Console.Write("Enter number: ");

 b = 

int.TryParse(Console.ReadLine(), out num);

    l.Add(num);

    }While(b);

    //insert min, max and median of (List) l here
