Answer 1

Full working JAVA code:

import java.io.*;
import java.util.Scanner;
class Demo {
   public static void main (String[] args) {
   //Create object of scanner class to take user input
   Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
   //Take 3 integer inputs from user
   int input1 = sc.nextInt();
   int input2 = sc.nextInt();
   int input3 = sc.nextInt();
   //Define variable min with input1 value
   int min = input1;
   //If input2 has smaller value than min, then update the min value
   if(input2 < min)
   min = input2;
   //Same with input3
   if(input3 < min)
   min = input3;
  
   //By now we got the minimum value of the three in varible "min"
   //Check if first value is only the minimum value and print the answer
   if(input1 == min)
   System.out.println("Mediterranean Shipping Company");
   //Check if second input has the lowest value
   else if(input2 == min)
   System.out.println("China Ocean Shipping Company(COSCO)");
   //If nothing works then input3 is the answer
   else
   System.out.println("Evergreen Marine");
   }
}
