Biggest and smallest number without using conditional operator in python-CodePudding

I wanted help in an exercise I need to find the smallest / largest number between a , b , c in python without using conditional operator

Prohibited The input contains a single line with three integers a, b and c separated by a space in white.

Exit Your program should produce the largest value of a, b, and c. There must be no blanks and/or empty lines in the output produced.

Example

input (a line)

1 2 3

Exit

CodePudding user response：

Let's assume the input numbers is interactively from the user. You could try to use max and min to get the largest and smallest number, and avoid using conditional operator. Let me know if there is any question.

lst = input('type in three numbers: (sep. by spaces)').split()  # type in 11 22 3

print(lst)   # ['11', '22', '3']  for example, 

print(f' largest number: {max((lst), key=int)} ')  # 22
