I just bought a visual basic 6 book. This will be my very first language.

Im in ch 3 of he book and it gives an exercise and wants me to make a script to compare 3 random integers and make it print the smallest and largest of the 3.

X is the largest number of the 3.
y is the smallest of the 3.

is there some way i can compare 1 integer to a list?

this is what i had in mind....

If X>(y,z) then
X=largest
End If

If Y> (x,z) then
Y=largest
End If

If Z>(x,y) then
Z=largest

End If

If X<(y,z) then
X=smallest
End If

If Y< (x,z) then
Y=smallest
End If

If Z<(x,y) then
Z=smallest
End If

Print largest ,"is the largest of the 3 numbers."
Print smallest, " is the smallest of the 3 numbers."

Im aware that my print statement may be out of wack but I'd like to concentrate on the comparisons.

Thank you
