Start with biggest = a.

Compare it with b, then with c, and update it when you find a bigger one.

Solution explanation

We keep the biggest value seen so far and replace it whenever a bigger one comes along.

#include <stdio.h>

int max3(int a, int b, int c) {
    int biggest = a;
    if (b > biggest) {
        biggest = b;
    }
    if (c > biggest) {
        biggest = c;
    }
    return biggest;
}

int main() {
    int a, b, c;
    scanf("%d %d %d", &a, &b, &c);
    printf("%d\n", max3(a, b, c));
    return 0;
}
