Find the Biggest and Smallest of 3 numbers using lists in Python

Hello everyone, welcome to Programming In Python! Here we discuss a simple Python program that finds the biggest and smallest of 3 numbers using lists. Here we use Python lists in this program.

Lists are the most commonly used data structure in Python, it is similar to array in most other programming languages.

Here we add the 3 numbers to the list and use max() and min() functions on it to find the biggest and smallest number respectively.

In the previous tutorials, we discussed finding the biggest and smallest number using functions: Link
