@lucky_guy
U missed out two more conditions
else if(b > c and b < a)
cout << b << endl;
else if(a < b and a > c)
cout << a << endl;
add these two.

@lucky_guy
change gcd condition in your solution
if(b is zero)
return a;
because when a becomes zero
gcd(b,a%b)
=>gcd(b,0%b)
=>gcd(b,0)
here second parameter becomes zero so your condition (if a = 0) return b is already
been checked here so you need not check that one explicitly whereas b = 0 case is not covered in your solution.
