In a melodic minor scale, the 6th and 7th degree of the scale is raised up 1 half step on the way up the scale. On the way back down the scale, the 6th and 7th are back down to the natural form of the minor.
Lowered third and sixth, raised seventh (Ti instead of Te)
In a harmonic minor scale, the 7th note of the scale is raised 1 half step both up the scale and down the scale.
Melodic Minor
Each major key has a relative minor key and vice versa. For example a key signature with one sharp can refer to either the G major or the e minor keys. For major keys there is only one scale type. For minor keys there are 3: pure, harmonic, and melodic. In pure(natural) minor none of the scale degrees are altered. In harmonic minor the seventh scale degree is raised half a step. In melodic minor the seventh and the sixth scale degrees are raised half a step, ascending and returned to their pure minor descending.

In a melodic minor scale, the sixth and seventh degrees are sharpened. In real cases - we have to use the word 'raised' rather than 'sharpened' since sometimes we need to raise the sixth degree of a major scale which is already flat. In Ab minor for example - we use naturals to raise the sixth and seventh degrees ascending since those notes (F and G), are already flatted due to the key signature.
pure (natural), harmonic, and melodic pure minor-none of the scale degrees are altered harmonic minor-7th scale degree raised a half step melodic minor- 6th and 7th scale degrees raised ascending and pure minor descending
6th and 7th are sharped.
The difference between a melodic minor scale and a harmonic minor scale is that in a melodic minor scale, the sixth and seventh scale degrees are raised on the way up, and on the way down they are the same as they would be in natural minor. In a harmonic minor scale, only the seventh scale degree is raised and stays the same on the way down.
A melodic minor scale is a minor scale where the sixth and seventh are raised by a half step as the scale ascends; however, the melodic minor scale is played exactly the same as a natural minor scale as it descends.

C minor melodic
The major scale is the major scale. If it was altered, then it wouldn't be the major scale anymore.
There are three varients of a minor scale: natural, harmonic and melodic.
G# melodic minor is as follows: G# A# B C# D# E# Fx G# F# E D# C# B A# G# In melodic minor scales, the 6th and 7th scale degrees are raised when ascending and lowered when descending. Notice that the 7th when going up is an F double sharp.
When ascending, the melodic minor scale has a raised 6th and 7th scale degree, but those two notes are lowered when descending.
Harmonic minor scale has a raised 7th in both ascending and descending scales. Melodic minor has raised 6th and 7th in ascending scale. It is similar to natural minor in descending scale.
