Question

Write a program that takes three numbers as input from the user, and prints the largest.

Answer 1

Answer:

Written in Python:

num1 = int(input("Enter a number: "))

num2 = int(input("Enter a number: "))

num3 = int(input("Enter a number: "))

if(num1 >= num3 and num1 >= num2):

    print("Largest: "+str(num1))

elif(num2 >= num3 and num2 >= num1):

    print("Largest: "+str(num2))

else:

    print("Largest: "+str(num3))

Explanation:

The next three lines prompt user for input of three numbers

num1 = int(input("Enter a number: "))

num2 = int(input("Enter a number: "))

num3 = int(input("Enter a number: "))

This following if condition checks if num1 is the largest

if(num1 >= num3 and num1 >= num2):

    print("Largest: "+str(num1))

This following if condition checks if num2 is the largest

elif(num2 >= num3 and num2 >= num1):

    print("Largest: "+str(num2))

The last condition assumes num3 is the largest if the previous conditions are false

else:

    print("Largest: "+str(num3))
