How to write a program that will print maximum of 3 numbers

Answer 1

Aliyu Dansale Yahya
Just fix one element as max_number, and then go through whole list and if you find any element bigger than max_number then change value of max_number to that element(thats what Aymane Boukrouh did, this technique is used in selection sort).

Answer 2

Use max function

Answer 3

I mean if i have a list of 3 numbers what can i do to print the max between them

Answer 4

def max(l):
s = l[0]
for i in l:
if(i>s):
s=i
return s

l = [1, 5, 3]
print(max(l))
Output: 5

This function is already a builtin, so you can use it by default without having to define it.

Answer 5

Thanks alots my friends but can i do it without function

Answer 6

hafeezudeen did you just copy paste my answer ?

Answer 7

Please don't copy-paste others' answers. You don't gain anything from it.

Answer 8

The built in max() does the job.
max(1,2,3) or max([1,2,3]) will work.

Answer 9

I guess u will use max funtion.. I. E max([list])....not sure though coz am just learning

Answer 10

Aliyu Dansale Yahya umm, I believe I gave the solution ? Just instead of making it a function write it directly:
l = ...
s = 0
for...

Simply rewrite what I did, and instead of return you print it

Answer 11

Sort the list in descending order.
Print the first item on the list.

Answer 12

print(max(4,5,6))
print(max([4,5,6]))

Answer 13

def max(l):
s = l[0]
for i in l:
if(i>s):
s=i
return s

l = [1, 5, 3]
print(max(l))
Output: 5

This function is already a builtin, so you can use it by default without having to define it.
