Help with simple code

[JacobSkinner]

I have a project where I have to provide a code that calculates the largest and smallest of three integer values given. I think that I have the code pretty much written out but for some reason when I run it, the largest output never reads back correctly. I am not sure what is wrong and could use a bit of help...

# LargeSmall.py - This program calculates the largest and smallest of three integer values.

# initialize variables here.
firstNumber = -50;

secondNumber = 53;

thirdNumber = 78;

largest = None
smallest = None

# Write assignment, if, or if else statements here as appropriate.
if firstNumber > secondNumber:
    if firstNumber > thirdNumber:
        largest = firstNumber
elif secondNumber > firstNumber:
    if secondNumber > thirdNumber:
        largest = secondNumber
else:
    largest = thirdNumber

if firstNumber < secondNumber:
    if firstNumber < thirdNumber:
        smallest = firstNumber
elif secondNumber < firstNumber:
    if secondNumber < thirdNumber:
        smallest = secondNumber
else: 
    smallest = thirdNumber

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