LEARN Theory for this problem
+

Repeated division by powers of 10 and `% 10` isolate decimal digits without converting the number to a string.

Connection to “Largest Digit of Three”: here, integer `/` and `%` provide the quotient and remainder, which is useful for digit extraction and cyclic arithmetic.

#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
using namespace std;
int main() {
    int n;
    cin >> n;
    int a = n / 100, b = (n / 10) % 10, c = n % 10;
    cout << max(a, max(b, c)) << '\n';
    return 0;
