3 numbers in ascending order WITHOUT the use of conditional statements in Java. As in I can't use if statements at all

Question

My code looks like this so far:

public class ThreeSort {
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        int num1 = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
        int          


        

Answer 1

Assuming this is some kind of puzzle/homework are you allowed to use the ternary operator?

int[] ints = {3, 1, 2};
int min = ints[0] <= ints[1] && ints[0] <= ints[2]
          ? ints[0]
          : ints[1] <= ints[0] && ints[1] <= ints[2]
            ? ints[1]
            : ints[2];
