largest = None smallest = None num = 0 while True: num = input("Enter a number: ") if num == "done" : break try: numb = int(num) except: print ("Invalid input") continue if smallest is None: smallest = numb elif numb < smallest : smallest = numb if largest is None: largest = numb elif numb > largest: largest = numb print ("Maximum is", largest) print ("Minimum is", smallest)

This is a correct code. It's absolutely run and match the output.

Sorry, something went wrong.

Now you Must Try This one

num = 0 largest = -1 smallest = None while True: num = input("Enter a number: ") if num == "done" : break try : numb = int(num) except : print('Invalid input') if smallest is None : smallest = numb elif numb < smallest : smallest = numb elif numb > largest : largest = numb print("Maximum is", largest) print("Minimum is", smallest)

Now you should try to enter output: 7 then 2 then bob then 10 then 4 then done

# newer update

largest = None smallest = None while True: inp = input("Enter a number: ") if inp == "done": break try: num = float(inp) except: print("Invalid input") continue if smallest is None: smallest = num largest = num if num < smallest: smallest = num elif num > largest: largest = num print("Maximum is", int(largest)) print("Minimum is", int(smallest))

my code for this practice:

large = None small = None

while True: num = input('please enter a vallue<<') try: if num == 'done': print('program finished') break number = int(num) except: print('please enter a numeric value') if small is None or small > number: small = number if large is None or large < number: large = number

print('MAX NUM: ',large, 'MIN NUM:',small)

"Hello, everyone. Could you kindly assist me with this exercise?

I am encountering difficulties, and nothing seems to be effective.

largest = None smallest = None

while True : num = input ('Enter a number :') if num=='done': break #elif num =='Done': #break try : fnum = float (num ) except: print ('Invaild input') continue if largest in None: largest = fnum elif fnum > largest: largest = fnum #print (fnum) if smallest is None : smallest =fnum #print (fnum) Print ('Maximum is', int(largest)) Print ('Minimum is' , int(smallest)) IS NOT WORKIG

Coursera - Python for everybody - ex 5.2

For the following problem: Write a program that repeatedly prompts a user for integer numbers until the user enters done . Once 'done' is entered, print out the largest and smallest of the numbers. If the user enters anything other than a valid number catch it with a try/except and put out an appropriate message and ignore the number. Input Cases: Enter 7, 2, bob, 10, and 4 and match the output below.

My program is not correctly showing the ans. What is problem here?

Output: Invalid input, Maximum is 10, Minimum is 2.

• Suggestion: don't test only with the given sequence of inputs. Try a variety of test cases. For example, try entering only "done", try entering only one number, try entering only an invalid input, try entering numbers that only increase or decrease. When a test fails, fix the script for that case and then test some more. –  Dennis Sparrow Commented Jun 10, 2020 at 3:11

• Looks to me like Maximum is 10, Minimum is 2 is correct, for 7, 2, bob, 10, 4. No? –  Sam Commented Jun 10, 2020 at 3:50
• given output section is only the expected output. but my given input does not showup like that. –  user3404895 Commented Jun 10, 2020 at 3:55

You are missing out few statements while printing the output. The following code worked for me.

Try this code and thank me later

If you include elif statements, they won't be checked if the condition in the if statement is true, so if I had "elif smallest..." it would never be checked giving 'Minimus is none' as a result.

This is the only thing I could work out. Couldn't figure out how to keep largest and smallest at the value of none

Fellow coders; most of the above-provided codes are right. The problem is the browser. I used chrome and got a mismatch. I then run the same code using Microsoft edge and finally received "Grade updated on server." So use a different browser. thank me later.
