[Solved] Min and Max in python? [closed]

Question

Basically you are asking the user to input ask_user amount of integer numbers and then finding the max number and min number. Although it is not recommended to code as max=0 and min=999, what is happening here is whenever a number greater than the current max value is put in, it replaces the previous max value with k. This is the same for min, whenever a number smaller than current min value is put in, it replaces the current min value with k.

You should actually first get a list of numbers and then use python functions min()/max() to do this. It is a much better way.
