Question
Please as simple as possible, since I'm in a beginner's class.
Write a program in Python to do the following.
Ask the user to enter two numbers. Compare them and display the larger one and the smaller one.
Define and use the following functions: get_numbers: Ask user to enter two numbers. Use a return statement to return them.
large_small: Compare two numbers. Use a return statement to return the larger number and the smaller number
Also write a main function to implement the mainline logic. Call the get_numbers function to get two numbers. Then call the large_small function and pass the two numbers as arguments. Display the larger and the smaller numbers in main.
The following are two examples.
Enter a number: 17
Enter another number: 20
The larger number is 20.0
The smaller number is 17.0
Enter a number: 15
Enter another number: 15
The larger number is 15.0
The smaller number is 15.0
Explanation / Answer
def get_numbers():
num1=0.0
num2=0.0
num1=float(input("Enter a number: "))
num2=float(input("Enter another number: "))
return(num1,num2)
def large_small(num1,num2):
if (num1<num2):
return(num2,num1)
else:
return(num1,num2)
n1,n2=get_numbers()
large,small=large_small(n1,n2)
print "The larger number is",large
print "The smaller number is",small
