Returning the Min of 3 variables without using an array

Question

I have three variables a b c. I want a way (in java) of selecting the Min of these variables and adding 1 to it without using an array to sort the values.

Is there a way to do this ?

At the beginning of the program all these variables will be equal to zero.

Use Math.min: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9576557/most-efficient-way-to-find-smallest-of-3-numbers-java — ag0rex, Nov 14 '12 at 13:14

Math.min(Math.min(a,b), c) + 1

int a = 1;
int b = 2;
int c = 3;

int min = Math.min(a, Math.min(b, c)) + 1;
