This is simple program where you have to compare one value with another.

class largestnum
   {
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {
    int p=500, q=70, r=3000;
    if (p>y)
 {
      if (p>z){
        System.out.println("p is greatest number");
      }
      else
       {
        if(z>q)
        {
          System.out.println("r is greatest number"); 
        }
        else{
          System.out.println("q is greatest number");
        }
      }
    }
    else{
      if (q>r)
       {
        System.out.println("q is greatest number");
      }
    }
  }
}

This is a simplest code to find largest value.

   
      int p;
 
      int i = 0;
  
      int largestnum;

      largestnum = num[0];

      for(p =0; p < num.lenght(); p++)
 
      if(largestnum < num[p])
  
      {
   
      largestnum = num[p];
  
      i = p;
  
      }
 
      return i;

I suggest you to first sort your number using array then you can find largest value as last element.In java there is one function called Arrays.sort that can be used to sort number.

use following approach:

java.util.Arrays.sort(numbers);
largestNumber= numbers[lalues.length-1];
