John Guttag Book - Finger Exercise 4 - need help to make the code better

[sl_prisonmike]

Hi. I have also been practicing this question from John Guttag's Book. This was the code that I wrote

Counter = 1 #For the while loop
Odd_Number = 0 #Keeps track of the largest odd number
Even_Number = 0 #Keeps track of the largest even number 

while (Counter <= 10):
    New_Int = int(input ('Enter integer: ')) #Integer entered by the user
    if  (New_Int%2 != 0) and (New_Int > Odd_Number) and (New_Int > Even_Number): #For postive odd numbers
        Odd_Number = New_Int
        Counter = Counter + 1
    elif (New_Int%2 != 0) and (New_Int < Odd_Number) and (New_Int < abs(Even_Number)): #For negative odd numbers
        Odd_Number = New_Int
        Counter = Counter + 1
    elif (New_Int%2 == 0) and (New_Int > Even_Number):
        Even_Number = New_Int
        Counter = Counter + 1
    else:
        Even_Number = New_Int
        Counter = Counter + 1

if Odd_Number == 0:
    print ("No odd numbers")
else:
    print ('Largest odd number is ' + str(Odd_Number))

The code seems to work fine but I'd like to know whether I can trim it down. Also, I feel like I can cut down on some of the sections.

why are you answering posts that are two years old?

my solution to the problem

num = 0
# user enters the numbers and if its odd and greater than num variable, 
# it assigns value to num 
# 
for i in range (1, 11):
    num2 = int(input("enter the no.:"))
    if num2 % 2 == 1 and num2 > num:
        num = num2
# if no odd num ber was entered and value of num did  not change
if num == 0:
    print("no odd no. was entered")
else:
    print("the largest odd number entered is :", num)
