I was asked this question recently.
In C, with the help of one printf statement, find the greater of 2 numbers say A & B.

I used ternary operator; although it contained two printf statements.

Can you guys help?

Try this:

C

int A = 5;
int B = 6;

printf("%i", A > B ? A : B);

isnt it ternary operator? The requirement is 1 printf only.

There *is* only a single printf in this solution!
