How to Create Find the Largest Number in Python

In this tutorial, we will create a "How to Find the Largest Number in Python". We will cover the basics of creating this program for finding the largest number. Our goal is to understand the concept behind this program and learn the proper way to code this application. I will provide a sample program to demonstrate the actual coding of this tutorial.

This topic is simple and easy to understand; just follow the instructions I provide, and you can also do it yourself with ease. The program I will show is for finding the largest number from the given set of numbers. I will do my best to provide you with the easiest method of creating this program, called "Finding the Largest Number". So, let's start with the coding.

Getting Started:

First you will have to download & install the Python IDLE's, here's the link for the Integrated Development And Learning Environment for Python https://www.python.org/downloads/.

Creating Main Function

import random
 
while True:
    print("\n\n================ Find the Largest Number ================\n\n")
    ret=False
    mylist=[]
    for x in range(8): 
        randNumber = random.randint(1,300)
        mylist.append(randNumber)
 
 
    maxi = mylist[0]   
    for i in mylist:
        if i > maxi:
            maxi = i
 
 
    print("The number:", mylist)
    print("\n")
    print("The Largest number is:", maxi)
 
    user_input=input("\n\nTry again? (Yes/No): ")
    print("\n\n")
    if user_input.lower()=='no':
        print("Exit program.")
        break
 
    elif user_input.lower()=='yes':
        ret=True
 
    else:
        print("Wrong input.")
        ret=True
 
 
    if ret:
        continue  

In the provided code, the first thing we do is enclose the entire code with a while loop to ensure the continuation of the application. Then, we use a for loop to populate the set of numbers that we will be using.

Lastly, we will attempt to find the largest number from the set of numbers by using the for loop to iterate through the set of numbers, checking if each number is greater than any other numbers.
