Homework 5.2

[speedy1668]

Hello everyone,

I was trying to write a code which would repeatedly prompts a user for integer numbers until the user enters 'done'. Once 'done' is entered, print out the largest and smallest of the numbers.

However, the output has both Largest and Smallest staying at "None", regardless of the inputs. Please advise. Thank you!!

largest = None
smallest = None
while True:
    num = input("Enter a number: ")
    if num == "done":
        break

    try:
        number = float(num)
    except:
        print("Invalid input")
    continue

    if largest is None:
        largest = number
    if number > largest:
        largest = number

    if smallest is None:
        smallest = number
    if number > smallest:
        smallest = number


def done(largest,smallest):
    print("Maximum", largest)
    print("Minimum", smallest)

done(largest, smallest)

It looks like you need to indent "continue".

It looks like you need to indent "continue".

thanks! However, if I input the following numbers: 2, 5, 10, 7. The output for both Largest and Smallest are 10.
