I thought ternary operators were some kind of eye-candy<\/strong>.
\nThis really reminds me of some sort of eye-cancer (no offense).<\/p>\n

\n

Better solution (with any count of variables)<\/h2>\n

If I’m right you want to extract the second greatest number from a<\/code>, b<\/code>, c<\/code> and d<\/code> and save it in k<\/code>.
\nTry this:<\/p>\n

int compare_int(const void* a, const void* b)\n{\n    int int_a = *((int*)a);\n    int int_b = *((int*)b);\n\n    if (int_a == int_b)\n        return 0;\n    else if ( int_a < int_b )\n        return -1;\n    else\n        return 1;\n}\n\nint main()\n{\n    int value[4];\n\n    \/\/ set values in any order:\n    value[0] = 20; \/\/second greatest\n    value[1] = -36;\n    value[2] = 294;\n    value[3] = 3;\n\n    qsort(value, 4, sizeof(int), compare_int);\n\n    \/\/ now the array is sorted by value.\n    \/\/ tho the second greatest number is in value[2].\n    printf(\"%d\\n\", value[2]);\n    return 0;\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
\n
Reformatting your code<\/h2>\n
Nevertheless.. I reformatted your code a bit:<\/p>\n
k = (((a > b && a > c && a > d) ? (((b > c && b > d) ? b : ((c > b && c > d) ? c : d)))) : ((b > a && b > c && b > d) ? (((a > c && a > d) ? a : ((c > a && c > d) ? c : d)))) : (((c > a && c > b && c > d) ? (((a > b && a > d) ? a : ((b > a && b > d) ? b : d)))) : ((d > a && d > b && d > c) ? (((a > b && a > c) ? a : ((b > c && b > a) ? b : c))))));\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Is the same as:<\/p>\n
k = (\n        \/\/ misplaced (\n            (a > b && a > c && a > d) ?\n            (\n                (\n                    (b > c && b > d) ? b :\n                    (\n                        (c > b && c > d) ? c : d\n                    )\n                )\n            )\n        \/\/ misplaced )\n        :\n        \/\/ misplaced (\n            (b > a && b > c && b > d) ?\n            (\n                (\n                    (a > c && a > d) ? a :\n                    (\n                        (c > a && c > d) ? c : d\n                    )\n                )\n            )\n        \/\/ misplaced )\n        :\n        (\n            \/\/ misplaced (\n                (c > a && c > b && c > d) ?\n                (\n                    (\n                        (a > b && a > d) ? a :\n                        (\n                            (b > a && b > d) ? b : d\n                        )\n                    )\n                )\n            \/\/ misplaced )\n            :\n            (\n                (d > a && d > b && d > c) ?\n                (\n                    (\n                        (a > b && a > c) ? a :\n                        (\n                            (b > c && b > a) ? b : c\n                        )\n                    )\n                )\n                \/\/ missing\n                \/\/ :\n                \/\/ (\n                \/\/     expression\n                \/\/ )\n            )\n        )\n    );\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
\n
Easy huh?
\n  Now you can see that you are even misplaced some (<\/code>‘s and )<\/code>‘s and also several :<\/code>‘s<\/p>\n<\/blockquote><\/div>\n
