3.6 Code Practice Question:
Write a program to input 6 numbers. After each number is input, print the biggest of the number entered so far:
Answer:
nums = []
biggest = 0
for i in range(6):
num = int(input("Number: "))
nums.append(num)
if(i == 0):
print("Largest: "+str(nums[0]))
biggest = nums[0]
else:
if nums[i]>biggest:
print("Largest: "+str(nums[i]))
biggest = nums[i]
else:
print("Largest: "+str(biggest))
Explanation:
This question is answered using python
This line declares an empty list
nums = []
This line initalizes the biggest input to 0
biggest = 0
This iteration is perfoemed for 6 inputs
for i in range(6):
This prompts user for input
num = int(input("Number: "))
This appends user input to the list created
nums.append(num)
For the first input, the program prints the first input as the largest. This is implemented in the following if condition
if(i == 0):
print("Largest: "+str(nums[0]))
biggest = nums[0]
For subsequent inputs
else:
This checks for the largest input and prints the largest input so far
if nums[i]>biggest:
print("Largest: "+str(nums[i]))
biggest = nums[i]
else:
print("Largest: "+str(biggest))
