Answer:
This program is written using Python Programming language,
The program doesn't make use of comments (See explanation section for line by line explanation)
Program starts here
print("Enter elements into the list. Enter 0 to stop")
newlist = []
b = float(input("User Input: "))
while not b==0:
newlist.append(b)
b = float(input("User Input: "))
newlist.sort()
print("Largest element is:", newlist[-1])
Step-by-step explanation:
This line gives the user instruction on how to populate the list and how to stop
print("Enter elements into the list. Enter 0 to stop")
This line creates an empty list
newlist = []
This line enables the user to input numbers; float datatype was used to accommodate decimal numbers
b = float(input("User Input: "))
The italicized gets input from the user until s/he enters 0
while not b==0:
newlist.append(b)
b = int(input("User Input: "))
This line sorts the list in ascending order
newlist.sort()
The last element of the sorted list which is the largest element is printed using the next line
print("Largest element is:", newlist[-1])
