Find Largest Number from User Input

Find largest number from user input

You need to use try and except here.

while(True):
    try:
         value = float(raw_input(">"))     # Get the input from user
         if value > largest_so_far:        # Type cast to integer
            largest_so_far = value
    except ValueError as e:                # Handle ValueError
        print largest_so_far
        break                              # Break the infinite loop

Find the largest number input by the user and identify how many times the largest number was inputted

Some issues:

1. guess p/s is printf/scanf ?

2. for loop condition, "numberOfIntegers == listOfIntegers" Infact this
   should be i < numberOfIntegers.

3. Even above is corrected program will not work . For e.g take the input
   1,3 ,5, 7, your answer will compute the correct max, but number of instances of max will be incorrect. (you need to reset occurence, when new max is found)

 if (listOfIntegers > largest)
            {
                largest = listOfIntegers;  occurence=1 ;
            }

  else if (listOfIntegers == largest)
            {
                occurrence++;
            }

finding highest number in Javascript from user input

you are making things complex try this code .

Assignment 1: <input type="text" name="num1"><br>
Assignment 2: <input type="text" name="num2"><br>
Assignment 2: <input type="text" name="num3"><br>

<button onclick="high()">Submit</button>

<p id="result"></p>

<script>

    function high(){
            var arr = document.querySelectorAll("input");
            var emptyarray = [];
            arr.forEach((elem) => {
                emptyarray.push(elem.value);
            })
            var max = Math.max.apply(null, emptyarray);
            document.getElementById("result").innerHTML=max;
    }
</script>

you will get the heighest number result , you can restrict the input field to just enter the number so that no one can add string instead of number and your code work fine .

How to find the greatest number among the numbers given input?

With the program below, you can get as many numbers as you want from the user and find the largest of them.

 #include <iostream>
    
    int main()
    {
        int size=0, largestValue=0, value=0;
    
        std::cout << "Enter total numbers you want to add :" << "\n";
        std::cin >> size;
    
        for (int i{ 0 }; i < size; ++i)
        {
            std::cout << "Enter value to add : ";
            std::cin >> value;
    
            if (i == 0 || value > largestValue)
            {
                largestValue = value;
            }
        }
    
        std::cout << "Largest value = " << largestValue << "\n";
        return 0;
    }

I'm trying to print the largest number from the inputs that the user gives, but it's printing the wrong number

So, first things first,

• the use of max can be avoided, as it is a reserved keyword in python

And coming to your fix, you are comparing it with the value only once in the loop, and you are returning the number, the indentation is the key here. You will have to wait for the loop to complete its job then return the value.

• There are many inbuilt methods to do the job, Here is your implementation (a bit modified)

session_live = True
numbers = []
a = 0

def largest_num(arr, n):
    #Create a variable to hold the max number

    max_number = arr[0]

    #Using for loop for 1st time to check for largest number
    for i in range(1, n):
        if arr[i] > max_number:
            max_number = arr[i]

    # --- The indentation matters
    #Returning max's value using return
    return max_number

while session_live:
    print("Tell us a number")
    num = int(input())

    numbers.insert(a, num)
    a += 1

    print("Continue? (Y/N)")
    confirm = input()


    if confirm == "Y":
        pass

    elif confirm == "N":
        session_live = False
        
        #Now I'm running the function
        arr = numbers
        n = len(arr)
        ans = largest_num(arr, n)
        print("Largest number is", ans)

    else:
        print(":/")
        session_live = False

Finding the largest number and smallest number given the user input (METHODS)

You just need to add a couple of if statements into for loop of main method to find out min and max values, e.g.:

for (int i = 0; i < noofgrades; i++) {

    double Grade = 0;
    // monthly interest rate//

    double mograde = readPositiveDouble(input, "Please enter grade " + (i + 1) + ": ", "Errorrrrrrrr");

    if (i == 0) {
        lowestGrade = mograde;
        highestGrade = mograde;
    } else {
        if (mograde < lowestGrade) {
            lowestGrade = mograde;
        }
        if (mograde > highestGrade) {
            highestGrade = mograde;
        }
    }

    sumOfGrade += mograde;
}

How to print largest number from User Input

This method is quick and clean, basically read in values the number of times specified, and each time the number is greater than the current maximum, replace max with the value read.

    int main()
    {
        int num_entries;
        float num;
        float max = 0;
        cin >> num_entries;
        while (num_entries-- > 0){
            cin >> num;
            if (num > max) {
                max = num;
            }
        }
    }
