Use input numbers

Program to Find the Largest Among Three Numbers, where numbers are dynamically entered by the user.

# take three numbers from user
num1 = float(input("Enter first number: "))
num2 = float(input("Enter second number: "))
num3 = float(input("Enter third number: "))

if (num1 > num2) and (num1 > num3):
    largest = num1
elif (num2 > num1) and (num2 > num3):
    largest = num2
else:
    largest = num3

print("The largest number is", largest)

Output:

Enter first number: 10
Enter second number: 50
Enter third number: 100
