threw this together, let me know what you think
num_list=[]
name_list =
['first','second','third','fourth','fifth','sixth','seventh','eighth','ninth','tenth']
name_it = name_list.pop(0)
while len(num_list) < 3:
try:
num_list.append( int( input(f"Insert the {name_it} number: ")))
except ValueError:
print('Not a number, try again!')
else:
name_it = name_list.pop(0)
print(f"Max number is: {sorted(num_list)[-1]}")
