can you help me to fix it?! :\
Suggestion:
Pretend that you are the computer.
Mentally execute each statement, providing input as required, and write
down the results.
Something like:
Statement Input Result
1 3 number1 = 3
2 2 number2 = 2
3 1 number3 = 1
4 Max number is 3
5 False
6 Max number is 1
Do not guess or assume anything. Just do exactly what each statement says.
As an alternative use some kind of debugger that will let you step through
the program statement by statement. Most interactive development
environments such as IDLE let you do this.
You might as well learn to do this now as you will be needing it more and
more as you go on.
Personally I would not have given any answer to the problem until you had
an opportunity to research it more thoroughly. We don't learn by being
given answers.
Also in the future use tu...@python.org as that's the proper place for
this kind of question.
