Python: Find the highest and lowest number from a given string of space separated integers

Python Basic - 1: Exercise-97 with Solution

Write a Python program to find the highest and lowest number from a given string of space-separated integers.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

def highest_lowest_num(str1):
 num_list = list(map(int, str1.split()))
 return max(num_list), min(num_list)
text = "1 4 5 77 9 0"
print("Original string:", text)
print("Highest and lowest number of the said string:",highest_lowest_num(text))
text = "-1 -4 -5 -77 -9 0"
print("\nOriginal string:", text)
print("Highest and lowest number of the said string:",highest_lowest_num(text))
text = "0 0"
print("\nOriginal string:", text)
print("Highest and lowest number of the said string:",highest_lowest_num(text))

Sample Output:

Original string: 1 4 5 77 9 0
Highest and lowest number of the said string: (77, 0)

Original string: -1 -4 -5 -77 -9 0
Highest and lowest number of the said string: (0, -77)

Original string: 0 0
Highest and lowest number of the said string: (0, 0)
