    "... using selection, determine the largest number of $a and $b[;] using selection, determine the smallest number of $b and $c" seems to imply Selection sort (but with only two numbers, just do inequality tests ... oh, those would already be in the sort algorithm; glad that that's sorted out).

    I don't know where to start is the problem. The information the instructor gave is useless. Where at on this website can I find code examples for math.

      You said: "am having trouble entering in everything without any errors". So show us what you entered.

      Update: Maybe Tutorials will help?
