Chapter 3 - You must create an application as set below using Python.
Name the script SortNumbers.py
Ask the user to enter 3 numbers
Then display them in ascending order.
Tip: Use if-else if and else, store variables in separate variables. Compare each value using if/if-else statements. Note there is no one single solution to this problem. Also, you CAN NOT use a sort function.
To create the application SortNumbers.py that asks the user to enter three numbers and displays them in ascending order, you can follow these steps:
1. Open a new Python script file named "SortNumbers.py" using your preferred text editor or development environment.
2. Start by prompting the user to enter the first number using the input() function. Store the input in a variable, let's say "num1".
3. Prompt the user to enter the second number using input() and store it in another variable, such as "num2".
4. Repeat the process to get the third number, storing it in a variable like "num3".
5. Compare the three numbers using if and if-else statements to determine the minimum, middle, and maximum values.
- Start by checking if "num1" is the smallest by comparing it with "num2" and "num3". If it is, store "num1" as the minimum, and proceed to compare "num2" and "num3".
- If "num1" is not the smallest, compare if "num2" is smaller than "num3". If it is, store "num2" as the minimum, and "num1" as the middle value. Otherwise, "num3" is the minimum, and "num1" is the middle value.
- Finally, assign the remaining number as the maximum.
6. Once you have determined the minimum, middle, and maximum values, display them in ascending order.
- Use the print() function to display the minimum, middle, and maximum values on separate lines in ascending order.
Remember, this is just one approach to solve the problem, and there are other ways to achieve the same result. The key is to understand the logic behind comparing the numbers and using if-else statements to determine the order.
