if a,b and c are numbers

if(a>b)
{
if(a>c)
{("a is largest")}
else
{("c is largest")}
}
else
{
if(b>c)
{("b is largest")}
else
{("c is largest")}
}

data = [10, 20, 70, 60, 40, 30]
ordered_data = data.sort_by {|num| -num}

p ordered_data
p ordered_data[0..2]


--output:--
[70, 60, 40, 30, 20, 10]
[70, 60, 40]

Or data.sort.last(3)

I think you might need ruby 1.9 to be able to pass an argument to last
like that.
