Java Beginners Largernumber

there should be an else statment in the main else..

public static void main(String[] args)
{
int x=5,y=0,z=3;
if(x>y)
{
if(x>z)
System.out.println(x);
else
{
if(z>y)
System.out.println(z);
else
System.out.println(y);
}
}
else
{
if(y>z)
System.out.println(y);
else
System.out.println(z);
}
}

This is another type of example for finding the largest number.
class velu1
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
int a=3,b=1,c=4;
if (a>b && a>c)
{
System.out.println("a is greatest");
}
else
if (b>c && b>a)
{
System.out.println("b is greatest");
}
else
if (c>a && c>b)
{
System.out.println("c is greatest");
}
}
}

For example,
If x = 2, y = 200 and z = 400
this program does not produce the output as it never compares y and z separately.

I think another line of code should be added as in:
class LargerNumber{
public static void main(String[] args) {
int x=2, y=70, z=3000;
if (x>y){
if (x>z){
System.out.println("x is greater");
}
else{
if(z>y){
System.out.println("z is greater");
}
else{
System.out.println("y is greater");
}
}
}
else if (y>z){
System.out.println("y is greater");
}

else
System.out.println("z is greater");

}
}

in above this program we are initiating no to variables other than this declare only variables and compare and they should read the values at compilation time ao simply what is the syntax for input of charater or nos.

class greaternumber
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int x=100,y=200,z=12;
if (x>y && y>z)
{
System.out.println("x is the Greater number");
}
else if(z>x && z>y)
{
System.out.println ("Z is the larget number");
}
else
{
System.out.println("Y is the larger number");
}
}
}

If the task is display the largest number among 100 integers, then what would be the solution, should we folow IF condition or Loop or something else please send the coding or the logic if anyone could solve this?

please explain me about (string[] args) in the main method

Thank you very much for setting up the example and sharing the code. I feel there may be some redundancy after the first else statement.
Best Regards,
Kim
