Answer 1

The following co‎des have been written using Python.

#obtaining input

n1 = int(input("Enter a number: "))

n2 = int(input("Enter a second number: "))

n3 = int(input("Enter a third number: "))

#using conditional statements to test conditions

if n1 < n3 and n2 < n3:    

      print("The smallest numbers are", n1, "and", n2, "and their sum is", str(n1 + n2) + ".")

elif n2 < n1 and n3 < n1:    

     print("The smallest numbers are", n2, "and", n3, "and their sum is", str(n2 + n3) + ".")

elif n3 < n2 and n1 < n2:    

    print("The smallest numbers are", n3, "and", n1, "and their sum is", str(n3 + n1) + ".")
