Python for everyone course assignment 5.2 - ofekx - Dec-23-2019
The assignment goal is to create a program that gets numbers as input from the user and i need to send back the largest number and the smallest number
num = input("Enter a number: ")
largest = num
smallest = num
while True:
num = input("Enter a number(type ""done""to finish):" )
try:
int(num)
except ValueError:
if num != "done":
print("invalid input")
continue
if num == "done": break
if largest < num:
largest = num
elif smallest > num:
smallest = num
print("Maximum is ",largest)
print("Minimum is ",smallest)

Quote:num = input("Enter a number(type ""done""to finish):" )
That would print out to look like:
Enter a number(type doneto finish):If you want the quotes to be printed out, you need to either:
1) escape them in the string like so:
num = input("Enter a number(type \"done\"to finish):" )2) use single quotes for the overall string, like so:
num = input('Enter a number(type "done"to finish):' )or 3) use triple quotes for the overall string:
num = input("""Enter a number(type "done"to finish):""" )Quote:if largest < num:At this point,
num is still a string. And comparing a string to an int doesn't make sense. You're already using the int() function to check if they gave you a number, so why not use it's returned value (the int)?Something like
response = input("Give number: ")
if "done" == response:
# do something
pass
else:
try:
num = int(response)
if largest < num:
largest = num
# etc
