OK, since you’ve learned some Python from my previous blog, let’s see if you’ve sucked up all of my information. Sorry, no hints! This is a test (Maybe not, but I’m just expressing myself.) . I’ll present you a DMOJ question and if you like, as a “test”, you can install a Python 3 file and find the answer yourself. Or if your Python skills aren’t that strong yet, review my solution to see if you understand why this answer makes sense. Start!
Problem of the Day
Let’s start with the DMOJ problem:
In the story Goldilocks and the Three Bears, each bear had a bowl of porridge to eat while sitting at his/her favorite chair. What the story didn’t tell us is that Goldilocks moved the bowls around on the table, so the bowls were not at the right seats anymore. The bowls can be sorted by weight with the lightest bowl being the Baby Bear’s bowl, the medium bowl being the Mama Bear’s bowl and the heaviest bowl being the Papa Bear’s bowl.
Write a program that reads in three weights and prints out the weight of Mama Bear’s bowl. You may assume all weights are positive integers less than 100.
Sample Input
10
5
8
Sample Output
8
Solution
a = int(input())
b = int(input()) c = int(input()) if a > b > c or c > b > a: print(b) if b > a > c or c > a > b: print(a) if a > c > b or b > c > a: print(c)
