 * Find the Smallest of 3 (a,b,c) without using < or > symbol
 * ----------------------------------------------------------
 * Mostly to find max or min we use < or > symbol
 * But here without using < or > symbol how to find smallest
 * 
 * Use division operator to compare two compare
 * a = 10 b = 20
 * a/b == 0 -> this means a is smaller than b
 * a = 20 b = 5
 * b/a == 0 -> this means b is smaller than a
 * 
 * This is the technique which we have to use to find the 
 * smallest of 3 (a,b,c)
