i'm also a beginner reading all the replies helps.
i was trying the problem myself and came up with the below code with a

num1 = int(input("Enter first number: "))num2 = int(input("Enter second

> num3: print(num1, " is th max number")elif num2 > num1 and num2 > num3:
print(num2, " is the max number")else: print(num3, "is the max number")
