My professor specifically said we are not allowed to use loops or arrays since we have not covered that in class. I have been trying to use the compareTo method but cant seem to get it to run with more than two string variables.

public class SortedNames {

public static void main(String[] args) {

//Declare Variables

String name1;

String name2;

String name3;

//Accept User Imput

Scanner keyboard=new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.print("Please Enter First Name ");

name1=keyboard.nextLine();

System.out.print("Please Enter Second Name ");

name2=keyboard.nextLine();

System.out.print("Please Enter Third Name ");

name3=keyboard.nextLine();

//Compare

if((name2.compareToIgnoreCase(name1)<0)&&(name2.compareToIgnoreCase(name3)<0))

{

System.out.println(name2);

}

//Compare

if((name1.compareToIgnoreCase(name2)<0)&&(name1.compareToIgnoreCase(name3)<0))

{

System.out.println(name1);

}

//Compare

if((name3.compareToIgnoreCase(name1)<0)&&(name3.compareToIgnoreCase(name2)<0))

{

System.out.println(name3);

}

}

}
