Largest Among Three Values

 Objective

Develop a Python program that asks the user to input three numbers and then displays the largest one.

 Example Python Exercise

 Copy Python Code 
# Prompt the user to enter the first number
num1 = float(input("Please enter the first number: "))

# Prompt the user to enter the second number
num2 = float(input("Please enter the second number: "))

# Prompt the user to enter the third number
num3 = float(input("Please enter the third number: "))

# Determine the largest number and display the result
largest = max(num1, num2, num3)
print(f"The largest number among {num1}, {num2}, and {num3} is {largest}")

 Output

Please enter the first number: 5
Please enter the second number: 8
Please enter the third number: 3
The largest number among 5.0, 8.0, and 3.0 is 8.0
