Need help writing script to output 3 numbers smallest to largest

[PiercedLip81]

my teacher wants me to write a script that takes in 3 numbers and outputs them from smallest to largest...im pretty new at this and need some help..

I started it and figure its "something" like this...any help? I dont know if im even on the right track?


<script language="javascript">
var a=parseInt(window.prompt("Please enter a number",""));
var b=parseInt(window.prompt("Please enter a number",""));
var c=parseInt(window.prompt("Please enter a number",""));

if(var a<=b)

{

document.write(a,b,c)

}
else

document.write(b,a,c);

</script>

Thanks for any help!

Since this is obviously an assignment, I'm not gonna give you the exact code. Just a hint.

Put the 3 input strings in an array. The array object has the sort() method:

arrayVariable.sort();

You should declare an array variable and populate it with the result of the prompts.

var arrNum = new Array();

Here's a column on populating javascript arrays and here's a reference on Array.sort()
