Question

Visual Basic

max is a function that accepts two int parameters and returns the value of the larger one.

Four int variables , population1, population2, population3, and population4 have already been declared and initialized.

Write an expression (not a statement!) whose value is the largest of population1, population2, population3, and population4 by calling max. (HINT: you will need to call max three times and you will need to pass the return values of two of those calls as arguments to max. REMEMBER: write an expression, not a statement.)

Explanation / Answer

Function max(a as int, b as int) as int

{

If (a > b) Then
   System.Console.Writeline(a)
Else
   System.Console.Writeline(b)

End If

End Function

}

Dim as population1, population2, population3,population4

max(max(population1, population2), max(population3, population4))
