Why my code giving me wrong answer or is something wrong with my code?

Question

I just want to fetch small value but when i try it with third value it doesn’t work as i want and it should -

first_num = int(input("input first number : "))

second_num = int(input("input second number : "))

third_num = int(input("input third number : "))

small_value = 0

if first_num < second_num and third_num :
small_value = first_num

elif second_num < first_num and third_num:
small_value = second_num

elif third_num < first_num and second_num:
small_value = third_num

print(small_value)

output ->

input first number : 5
input second number : 6
input third number : 3
5

Answer 1

Balraj Singh , you can not use conditional statement like this:

if first_num < second_num and third_num : # <<<<<<<

it has to be this way for all conditionals:

if first_num < second_num and first_num < third_num : # <<<<<<

Answer 2

What are you expecting ?like the inputs and output .

Answer 3

when I input third value as smallest value then it should print third value but it is not working that way. (Thanks for Reply Abhay )
