Write a python program to input three numbers and display the larger or smaller number.

Answer 1

Heres a simply illustrative way using if statements, you could do this lots of different ways including creating a list and sorting.

n1 = float(input())
n2 = float(input())
n3 = float(input())

# Find largest
if (n1 > n2) and (n1 > n3):
large = n1
elif (n2 > n1) and (n2 > n3):
large = n2
else:
large = n3

# Find smallest
if (n1 < n2) and (n1 < n3):
small = n1
elif (n2 < n1) and (n2 < n3):
small = n2
else:
small = n3

print("The large number is", large, "\n")
print("The small number is", small, "\n")

Answer 2

This is a simplier version converting to a list and using min/max. Still the above example is more illustrative on how to compare:

n1 = float(input())
n2 = float(input())
n3 = float(input())

nlist = [n1, n2, n3]

print("The large number is", max(nlist), "\n")
print("The small number is", min(nlist), "\n")
