Python program to find the largest of three numbers

a = 25
b = 78
c = 42

if a >= b and a >= c:
    largest = a
elif b >= a and b >= c:
    largest = b
else:
    largest = c

print("Largest number is", largest)
print("Using max():", max(a, b, c))

Output:

How it works

• The first condition checks if a is bigger than or equal to both others.
• If not, the elif checks b. If both fail, c must be the largest.
• max() does all this work in one call, so use it in real programs.
