Maximum of Three

Selection

2 Medium

Write a program that asks the user to enter three numbers. The program should then calculate and output the largest of the three.
💡 How to Approach This Challenge:
  • Inputs: Three separate numbers from the user
  • Outputs: The largest of the three numbers
  • Calculations/Logic: Use comparison operators (if / elif)
  • Structure: Use if and else statements
  • Functions: Optional (e.g., max_of_three(a, b, c))
📄 Suggested Pseudocode:
INPUT num1
INPUT num2
INPUT num3
IF num1 > num2 AND num1 > num3 THEN
    OUTPUT num1
ELSE IF num2 > num3 THEN
    OUTPUT num2
ELSE
    OUTPUT num3
