I wonder if my answer below is correct and feasible or are there any improvements Thank you. question: a program that checks x y and z if they are odd or even if they are odd checks if the number is the biggest of all three. Below my answer:
x = 4
y = 7
z = 9
#first condition where 3 numbers are all odd.
if x%2 == 1 and y%2 == 1 and z%2 == 1:
if x > y and x > z:
print "x is the biggest odd number."
elif x > y and z > x:
print "z is the biggest odd number."
else:
print "y is the biggest odd number."
#second condition where 2 of the numbers are odd
elif x%2 == 0 and y%2 == 1 and z%2 == 1:
if y > z:
print "y is the biggest odd number."
else:
print "y is the biggest odd number."
elif x%2 == 1 and y%2 == 0 and z%2 == 1:
if x > z:
print "x is the biggest odd number."
else:
print "z is the biggest odd number."
elif x%2 == 1 and y%2 == 1 and z%2 == 0:
if x > y:
print "x is the biggest odd number."
else:
print "y is the biggest odd number."
#third condition where only one of the numbers is odd.
elif x%2 == 0 and y%2 == 0 and z%2 == 1:
print "z is the biggest odd number."
elif x%2 == 1 and y%2 == 0 and z%2 == 0:
print "x is the biggest odd number."
elif x%2 == 0 and y%2 == 1 and z%2 == 0:
print "y is the biggest odd number."
#last condition if none of the numer are odd or not numbers.
else:
print " None of the numbers are odd or not a number."
Wow! That is a ton of code. Why don't you just put x,y,z in a list. Use a list comprehension to remove even numbers. Then select the maximum value using the max function. Something like this
arr = [x,y,z]
arr = [i for i in arr if i%2!=0] #select only odd numbers
print(max(arr)) #display the maximum number
Then you can use max(arr) to figure out what variable contains the maximum odd number.
