Question

write a program to input 3 numbers and print the largest and the smallest number without using if else statement​

Answer 1

Answer:

def main():

   # input

   num1 = int(input("Type in a number: "))

   num2 = int(input("Type in another number: "))

   num3 = int(input("Type in another number: "))

   list1 = [num1, num2, num3]

   # sorts the array

   list1.sort()

   # list1[-1] prints the first element in the array

   print("The largest number is: " + str(list1[-1]))

   # -len(list1) takes the length of the list, in this case 3, and makes it a negative number.  

   # That negative number is then used as an index for the list1 array in order to print the lowest number.

   print("The smallest number is: " + str(list1[-len(list1)]))

main()

Explanation:

Hope this helped :) I left some comments so you know what's going on. You can also use max(list1) and min(list1) but I chose indexing because indexing is the better way of doing stuff like this.

Have a good day!
