Hello everybody, this is a Python program which finds out the smallest and largest number in the list.
Here we use 2 predefined functions min() and max() which check for the smallest and largest number in a list respectively.

Largest and Smallest in a list – Code Visualization
Task :
To find largest and smallest number in a list.
Approach :
- Read input number asking for length of the list using
input()orraw_input(). - Initialise an empty list
lst = []. - Read each number using a
for loop. - In the for loop append each number to the list.
- Now we use predefined function
max()to find the largest element in a list. - Similarly we use another predefined function
min()to find the smallest element in a list.
Program :
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
lst = [] num = int(input('How many numbers: ')) for n in range(num): numbers = int(input('Enter number ')) lst.append(numbers) print("Maximum element in the list is :", max(lst), "\nMinimum element in the list is :", min(lst)) |
Output :
program failed if i input negative number
