This will achieve the same goal in much less code.
import bwi.prog.utils.TextIO;
import java.util.*;
public class MinMidMax {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Map<Integer, Character> vars = new TreeMap<Integer, Character>();
// get input
TextIO.putln("Enter three numbers");
for (Character c = 'a'; c <= 'c'; c++) {
TextIO.putf("%s=", c);
vars.put(TextIO.getInt(), c);
}
// print the result
StringBuilder sbValues = new StringBuilder("\nordered:\n");
StringBuilder sbVars = new StringBuilder();
for (Map.Entry<Integer, Character> e : vars.entrySet()) {
sbValues.append(e.getValue());
sbValues.append("\t<");
sbVars.append(e.getKey());
sbVars.append("\t<");
}
sbVars.setLength(sb.length() - 2);
sbValues.setLength(sb.length() - 2);
TextIO.putln(sbValues);
TextIO.putln(sbVars);
}
}
The TreeMap class automatically sorts its keys, and iterating through them is relatively trivial.
Not that StringBuilder has been used to build strings for later output, so you can remove the remaining \t< at the end.
The java.util package can make your life much easier.
Note that this also supports an arbitrary amount of inputs, just change c <= 'c' to any character greater than 'c' on the ASCII table.

\$\begingroup\$ I would use a
TreeMap<Integer,Character>instead.TreeMapautomatically keeps its keys sorted, and doesn't require an explicitCollections.sort(). Also, usingCharacteravoids the""+chack. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Sep 25, 2013 at 5:14 -
1\$\begingroup\$ You also don't need
items— you can just get it fromvars.keySet(), which is guaranteed to be aSortedSetifvarsis aTreeMap. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Sep 25, 2013 at 5:18 -
\$\begingroup\$ The
Mapdoesn't handle duplicate values well at all, though! \$\endgroup\$ Commented Sep 25, 2013 at 5:19 -
\$\begingroup\$ @200_success Modified to address first two comments. Changed to
TreeMap<Integer, Character>and used resultingentrySet()withStringBuilder. \$\endgroup\$– azzCommented Sep 25, 2013 at 5:40
