Question

Write a program that asks the user how many integers they would like to enter. You can assume they will enter an integer >= 1. The program will then prompt the user to enter that many integers. After all the numbers have been entered, the program should display the largest and smallest of those numbers (no, you cannot use lists, or any other material we haven't covered). When you run your program it should match the following format: How many integers would you like to enter? 4 Please enter 4 integers. -4 105 2 -7 min: -7 max: 105 The file must be named: min_max.py

Answer 1

#Python program that prompts user to enter the number of elements to read from keyboard. Then read #the numbers from keyboard.Then find the minimum and maximum value and print the result 
#to console.
#min_max.py
def main():
    # set values to 0
    value = 0
    index = 0
    min = 0
    max = 0
    #read number of elements to get from keyboard
    size=int(input('How many integers would you like to enter?'))
   
    #prompt for values
    print('Please enter ',size,' integers.')
    value=int(input())
    #assume starting value is min and max
    min=value
    max=value
    
    #read values using loop
    while index<size-1:
        value = int(input(''))
        
        #checking if value is less than min
        if value<min:
            #update the min value
            min=value
        # checking if value is more than max
        if value>max:
            # update the min value
            max=value
        #increment the index by 1
        index=index+1

    #Print min and max values on console output
    print('min: ',min,' max: ',105)


#calling main method
main()
