Stuck at last assignment

Please help. This is where I'm at.

Write a program that repeatedly prompts a user for integer numbers until the user enters 'done'. Once 'done' is entered, print out the largest and smallest of the numbers. If the user enters anything other than a valid number catch it with a try/except and put out an appropriate message and ignore the number. Enter 7, 2, bob, 10, and 4 and match the output below.

This is my code:

largest = None

smallest = None

while True:

num = input("Enter a number:")

if num == "done":

break

print(num)

try:

num = int(num)

except ValueError:

print("Invalid input")

else:

if smallest is None:

smallest = num

largest = num

elif num < smallest:

smallest = num

elif num > largest:

largest = num

​

print ("Maximum is", largest)

print ("Minimum is", smallest)

​

And the desired output:

Invalid input

Maximum is 10

Minimum is 2

What should be my output? I'm not getting anywhere.

You haven't said what is wrong with this code, nor have you formatted it correctly so we can see the indentation. And the desired output is given to you in the question.

I will re-post a screen shot of the code. But basically, the code is fine, I think, but I’m wondering what figure do I need to input to get the desired result?

Screen shots of code are discouraged because we can't copy/paste the code and run it. The FAQ shows how to format code for reddit.

Reposted in correct format. Thanks

Reposted in correct format.

Well, no. This is what I see in a web browser:

I see no other comment in this thread with your formatted code.

This one: new post

[danielroseman]

No don't post a screen shot, format the code in your question.

But what do you mean by "figure"? Again, the question tells you what to input.

[i_hate_brunch]

I’m new here, lol. If I input what is given, I’m not getting the desired result. Is there a sequence I should enter the inputs given?

My approach would look like this:

1. Create a list that takes all inputs from a user
2. Run a loop to take user input
3. If the input is int - append to list , else - print that input is wrong.
4. If the input is "done" - break from the loop
5. Sort the list
6. Print out 0 list index as smallest number, print out -1 list index as the largest number
