Question

Write a program whose inputs are three integers, and whose outputs are the largest of the three values and the smallest of the three values.

Ex: If the input is:

7

15

3

the output is:

largest: 15

smallest: 3

Your program must define and call the following two functions. The function largest_number() should return the largest number of the three input values. The function smallest_number() should return the smallest number of the three input values.

largest_number(num1, num2, num3)
smallest_number(num1, num2, num3)

Note: DO NOT use max() and min().

 

python please explain so i understand

 

def largest_number(num1, num2, num3):
    # Type your code here.
    
    
def smallest_number(num1, num2, num3):
    # Type your code here.
    
    
if __name__ == '__main__':
    # Type your code here.

 

this is what i did

def largest_number(num1, num2, num3):
    if(num1>num2 and num1>num3):
        return num1
    elif(num2>num1 and num2>num3):
        return num2
    else:
        return num3
    
    
def smallest_number(num1, num2, num3):
    if(num1<num2 and num1< num3):
        return num1
    elif(num2<num1 and num2< num3):
        return num2
    else:
        return(num3)
        
if __name__ == '__main__':
    n1 = int(input())
    n2 = int(input())
    n3 = int(input())
    print("largest:",largest_number(n1,n2,n3))
    print("smallest:",smallest_number(n1,n2,n3))

 

everything else is good except one of the outputs says:

largest_number(4, 4, 9) and smallest_number(4, 4, 9)
Your output
smallest_number(4, 4, 9) incorrectly returned smallest: 9
