A Python program that finds the greatest number from a list of n numbers

 

Here's a Python program that finds the greatest number from a list of n numbers:

Python
# Get the input list from the user num_list = [] n = int(input("Enter the number of elements in the list: ")) for i in range(n): num = int(input("Enter element {}: ".format(i+1))) num_list.append(num) # Find the greatest number in the list greatest_num = num_list[0] for i in range(1, n): if num_list[i] > greatest_num: greatest_num = num_list[i] # Print the greatest number print("The greatest number in the list is:", greatest_num)

In this program, I first get the input list from the user by asking for the number of elements and then prompting the user to enter each element one by one. I then use a loop to iterate through the list and find the greatest number by comparing each element with the current greatest number. Finally, I print the greatest number to the console.


Output for the Python program that finds the greatest number from a list of n numbers:

Python
Enter the number of elements in the list: 5 Enter element 1: 45 Enter element 2: 34 Enter element 3: 87 Enter element 4: 12 Enter element 5: 65 The greatest number in the list is: 87

In this example, the user enters a list of 5 numbers and the program outputs the greatest number in the list, which is 87.
