public class Main {
   public static int medof(int n1, int n2, int n3) {
      // check if n2 is the median
      if ((n1 < n2 && n2 < n3) || (n3 < n2 && n2 < n1))
         return n2;

      // Checking for n1
      else if ((n2 < n1 && n1 < n3) || (n3 < n1 && n1 < n2))
         return n1;

      else
         return n3;
   }

   public static void main(String[] args) {
      // test the medof function
      System.out.println("Method call          Value returned");
      System.out.println("medof (20, 1, 5)       " + medof(20, 1, 5));
      System.out.println("medof (5, 3, 1)        " + medof(5, 3, 1));
      System.out.println("medof (-10, -2, 4)     " + medof(-10, -2, 4));
      System.out.println("medof (-1, 4, 0)       " + medof(-1, 4, 0));
   }
}
