Problem Definition
Create a Python program to find the smallest among the three given numbers, taking runtime inputs from the user.
Solution
- Take inputs from the user and store them in variables
- Compare the numbers
- Print the final result
- End
To understand the program you need to have an understanding of following Python concept.
Program
num1 = float(input("Enter first number: "))
num2 = float(input("Enter second number: "))
num3 = float(input("Enter third number: "))
if (num1 < num2) and (num1 < num3):
smallest = num1
elif (num2 < num1) and (num2 < num3):
smallest = num2
else:
smallest = num3
print("The smallest number is", smallest)
Runtime Test Cases
Enter first number: 90
Enter second number: 34
Enter third number: 69
The smallest number is 34.0
Explanation
First, the program is taking input from the keyboard using the built-in input()
function. Although we do need to change the datatype of the inputs to either integer or float, we are converting the input to float for more accuracy.
Next, there are 3 conditional statements which will store the smallest number into the variable smallest
which later gets printed out.
