Question

Summary

In this lab, you complete a prewritten Python program that computes the largest and smallest of three integer values. The three values are -50, 53, 78.

Instructions

1. Two variables named largestand smallest are assigned for you. Use these variables to store the largest and smallest of the three integer values. You must decide what other variables you will need and initialize them if appropriate.
2. Write the rest of the program using assignment statements, if statements, or elifstatements as appropriate. There are comments in the code that tell you where you should write your statements. The output statements are written for you.
3. Execute the program. Your output should be:

   The largest value is 78
   The smallest value is -50

# LargeSmall.py - This program calculates the largest and smallest of three integer values.
# Declare and initialize variables here
firstNumber = -50;
secondNumber = 53;
thirdNumber = 78;

# Write assignment, if, or if else statements here as appropriate

# Output largest and smallest number.
print("The largest value is " + str(largest))
print("The smallest value is " + str(smallest))

Answer 1

Thanks for the question, here is the simple short python code to find the largest and smallest number among the 3 numbers.

====================================================================

firstNumber = -50
secondNumber = 53
thirdNumber = 78

if (firstNumber >= secondNumber and firstNumber >= thirdNumber):
    largest = firstNumber
elif (secondNumber >= firstNumber and secondNumber >= thirdNumber):
    largest = secondNumber
else:
    largest = thirdNumber

if (firstNumber <= secondNumber and firstNumber <= thirdNumber):
    smallest = firstNumber
elif (secondNumber <= firstNumber and secondNumber <= thirdNumber):
    smallest = secondNumber
else:
    smallest = thirdNumber

print('The largest value is ' + str(largest))
print('The smallest value is ' + str(smallest))
