Question

Two variables named largest and smallest are declared for you. Use these variables to store the largest and smallest of the three integer values. You must decide what other variables you will need and initialize them if appropriate. Your program should prompt the user to enter 3 integers. Write the rest of the program using assignment statements, if statements, or if else statements as appropriate. There are comments in the code that tell you where you should write your statements. The output statements are written for you. Execute the program by clicking the Run button at the bottom of the screen. Using the input of -50, 53, 78, your output should be: The largest value is 78 The smallest value is -50

Answer 1

Here's an example program in Python that stores the largest and smallest of three integer values entered by the user:

```python

# Declare variables for largest and smallest

largest = None

smallest = None

# Prompt user to enter three integers

num1 = int(input("Enter first integer: "))

num2 = int(input("Enter second integer: "))

num3 = int(input("Enter third integer: "))

# Determine largest number

if num1 >= num2 and num1 >= num3:

largest = num1

elif num2 >= num1 and num2 >= num3:

largest = num2

else:

largest = num3

# Determine smallest number

if num1 <= num2 and num1 <= num3:

smallest = num1

elif num2 <= num1 and num2 <= num3:

smallest = num2

else:

smallest = num3

# Output results

print("The largest value is", largest)

print("The smallest value is", smallest)

```

In this program, the variables `largest` and `smallest` are declared and initialized to `None`. Three additional variables `num1`, `num2`, and `num3` are declared and initialized with integer values entered by the user using the `input()` function and converted to integers using the `int()` function.

The program then uses a series of `if` and `elif` statements to determine the largest and smallest of the three numbers, based on their values. The `largest` and `smallest` variables are updated accordingly.

Finally, the program outputs the results using two `print()` statements.v
