Find the Greatest of Three Numbers

Certification: Basic Level Accuracy: 65.43% Submissions: 162 Points: 5

Write a Python program that finds the largest among three given numbers.

Example 1
    

  • Input: numbers = [10, 20, 30]
    • 

  • Output: 30
    • 

  • Explanation: 

      

    • Step 1: Take three numbers 10, 20, and 30 as input.
      • 

    • Step 2: Compare the numbers to find the largest.
      • 

    • Step 3: 30 is greater than both 10 and 20, so return 30.
      •

Example 2
    

  • Input: numbers = [-5, -2, -10]
    • 

  • Output: -2
    • 

  • Explanation: 

      

    • Step 1: Take three numbers -5, -2, and -10 as input.
      • 

    • Step 2: Compare the numbers to find the largest.
      • 

    • Step 3: -2 is greater than both -5 and -10, so return -2.
      •

  • Use nested if-else statements: if a > b and a > c: return a
    • 
  
  • Use the max() function: max(a, b, c)
    • 
  
  • Use sorted list: sorted([a, b, c])[-1]
    • 
  
  • Use ternary operator: max_ab = a if a > b else b; return max_ab if max_ab > c else c
    •

The following are the steps to Find the Greatest of Three Numbers:

 1. Take three numbers as input. 
 2. Use conditional statements (`if-elif-else`) to compare them. 
 3. Store the largest value in a variable. 
 4. Print the largest number. 
 5. Verify with different inputs, including equal numbers.
