Python Program To Find Largest And Smallest Number In A List

Program 1

This python program accepts numbers from user and stores them in NumbersList list.

Then we simply use max() to find largest number and min() to find smallest number.

# Python Program to find Largest and Smallest Number in a List 
NumbersList = []
length = int(input("Please enter length of list : "))
for i in range(0, length):
    value = int(input("Please enter value : "))
    NumbersList.append(value)


print("The Smallest Number in this List is : ", min(NumbersList))
print("The Largest Number in this List is : ", max(NumbersList))

Program 2

This is another python program which finds largest and smallest numbers in list but it does without use of max() and min() functions.

# Python Program to find Largest and Smallest Number in a List 
NumList = []
Number = int(input("Please enter the Total Number of List Elements: "))
for i in range(1, Number + 1):
    value = int(input("Please enter the Value of %d Element : " %i))
    NumList.append(value)
smallest = largest = NumList[0]
for j in range(1, Number):
    if(smallest > NumList[j]):
        smallest = NumList[j]
        min_position = j
    if(largest < NumList[j]):
        largest = NumList[j]
        max_position = j


print("The Smallest Element in this List is : ", smallest)
print("The Index position of Smallest Element in this List is : ", min_position)
print("The Largest Element in this List is : ", largest)
print("The Index position of Largest Element in this List is : ", max_position)
