Python: Largest and smallest digit of a given number

Python Basic - 1: Exercise-145 with Solution

Write a Python program to find the largest and smallest digits of a given number.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

def Largest_Smallest_digit(n):
   largest_digit = 0
   smallest_digit = 9
   while (n):
       digit = n % 10
       # largest digit
       largest_digit = max(digit, largest_digit)
       # smallest digit
       smallest_digit = min(digit, smallest_digit)
       n = n // 10
   return largest_digit, smallest_digit
n = 9387422
print("Original Number:", n)
result = Largest_Smallest_digit(n)
print("Largest Digit of the said number:", result[0])
print("Smallest Digit of the said number:", result[1])
n = 500
print("\nOriginal Number:", n)
result = Largest_Smallest_digit(n)
print("Largest Digit of the said number:", result[0])
print("Smallest Digit of the said number:", result[1])
n = 231548
print("\nOriginal Number:", n)
result = Largest_Smallest_digit(n)
print("Largest Digit of the said number:", result[0])
print("Smallest Digit of the said number:", result[1])

Sample Output:

Original Number: 9387422
Largest Digit of the said number: 9
Smallest Digit of the said number: 2

Original Number: 500
Largest Digit of the said number: 5
Smallest Digit of the said number: 0

Original Number: 231548
Largest Digit of the said number: 8
Smallest Digit of the said number: 1
