Q3. Write a script to read in three numbers as arguments, compare them, and list them in an ascending order, execute it in Linux and take screenshot of output.

Answer 1

Below is a script to read in three numbers as arguments, compare them, and list them in an ascending order:

Python

#!/bin/python3

# Read the three numbers from the command line

num1 = int(input("Enter the first number: "))

num2 = int(input("Enter the second number: "))

num3 = int(input("Enter the third number: "))

# Compare the numbers and store them in a list in ascending order

numbers = [num1, num2, num3]

numbers.sort()

# Print the numbers in ascending order

print("The numbers in ascending order are:")

for number in numbers:

print(number)

So, based on the above, for one to execute the script in Linux, save it as a file named sort_numbers.py and then run the below command in a terminal window as shown below

python sort_numbers.py
