Python: Question about the usage of max() and min() when the input numbers are two-digit-CodePudding

When the code below takes input such as

5 (the length of the next input) 1 3 5 2 4

it accurately returns the maximum number and the minimum number.

However, when the code takes input that includes two-digit numbers such as

5 12 52 1 65 8

it returns 8 as the maximum number and 1 as the minimum.

How should I modify my code to always return the correct outputs?

num = int(input())

nums = input().split()

print(max(nums),min(nums))

CodePudding user response：

nums should be a list of integer and not list of string. currently it is list of string. you need to convert it to list of int.

nums = list(map(int, input().split()))

CodePudding user response：

You can try this out First take input as string then convert them to a list of numbers Hope It helps

n=(input("enter the numbers: "))
a=list(map(int,n.split()))
print(max(a),min(a))
