Suppose Alice has picked three distinct integers and placed them into a stack S in random order.
Question:
Suppose Alice has picked three distinct integers and placed them into a stack S in random order. Write a short, straightline piece of pseudocode (with no loops or recursion) that uses only one comparison and only one variable x, yet that results in variable x storing the largest of Alice’s three integers with probability 2/3. Argue why your method is correct.
