Question

What your Python program should do

1. Get three (3) numbers from the user. Assume the user will type in only positive, whole numbers. Don’t forget to add helpful prompts for the user.

2. Using your knowledge of Python…

a. Determine which number is the smallest. Print that number along with some descriptive text to inform the user of what is being printed to the screen.

b. Determine how many numbers are equal (zero, two, or all three). Print that number along with some descriptive text to inform the user of what is being printed to the screen.

Answer 1

Hello,

Here is the complete code. Create new file and paste the below code and execute.

#Read input from user
print ("Enter 3 positive numbers")
num1 = int(input(" First Number: "))
num2 = int(input(" Second Number: "))
num3 = int(input(" Third Number: "))

#Determine smallest number
if(num1 <= num2 ):
smallest = num1
else:
smallest = num2

if(num3 < smallest ):
smallest = num3
  
print("\nSmallest of three numbers (",num1, ", ", num2, ", ", num3, "): ", smallest)

#Determine how many numbers are equal
if(num1 == num2 and num2 == num3):
print("\nAll three numbers are common amoung (",num1, ", ", num2, ", ", num3, ")")
elif(num1 == num2 or num2 == num3):
print("\nTwo numbers are common amoung (",num1, ", ", num2, ", ", num3, ")")
else:
print("\nNone of nubmers are common amoung (",num1, ", ", num2, ", ", num3, ")")

input("\nPress any key to continue...");
exit();
