C#: Find the larger from two given integers

Last update on June 26 2025 13:04:55 (UTC/GMT +8 hours)

Largest of Two Integers or Smallest if Same Remainder by 7

Write a C# Sharp program to find the largest of two given integers. However if the two integers have the same remainder when divided by 7, then return the smallest integer. If the two integers are the same, return 0.

Sample Solution:-

C# Sharp Code:

using System;
using System.Linq;

namespace exercises {
    // Class declaration
    class Program {
        // Main method - entry point of the program
        static void Main(string[] args) {
            // Printing the results of the 'test' method with different integer values
            Console.WriteLine(test(11, 21)); // Output: 11 (since both numbers are not equal and their remainders when divided by 7 are not equal)
            Console.WriteLine(test(11, 20)); // Output: 20 (since both numbers are not equal but their remainders when divided by 7 are equal)
            Console.WriteLine(test(24, 10)); // Output: 24 (since both numbers are not equal and their remainders when divided by 7 are not equal)
            Console.WriteLine(test(10, 10)); // Output: 0 (since both numbers are equal)
            Console.ReadLine(); // Keeping the console window open
        }

        // Method to compare two integers and return based on certain conditions
        public static int test(int x, int y) {
            if (x == y) return 0; // If x is equal to y, return 0
            if (x % 7 == y % 7) return (x < y) ? x : y; // If the remainders of x and y when divided by 7 are equal, return the smaller number
            return (x > y) ? x : y; // If none of the above conditions are met, return the larger number
        }
    }
}
