Challenge Overview

Script

To solve this problem we need to find the smallest and largest number in the given list of numbers. We can do this by using the min() and max() functions in Python.

python
n = input()

l = [] # Create an empty list
for i in n.split(" "): # Split the input by space and store it in a list
    l.append(float(i)) # Convert the string to float and append it to the list

print(min(l)) # Print the minimum number
print(max(l)) # Print the maximum number

Run the script and get the flag
