Question

write python program to find the smallest of two give number. add comment in the program​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given two numbers, write a Python code to find the Minimum of these two numbers.

Examples:

Input: a = 2, b = 4 Output: 2 Input: a = -1, b = -4 Output: -4

Method #1: This is the naive approach where we will compare the numbers using if-else statement and will print the output accordingly.

Example:

# Python program to find the

# minimum of two numbers

  

  

def minimum(a, b):

      

    if a <= b:

        return a

    else:

        return b

      

# Driver code

a = 2

b = 4

print(minimum(a, b))

Output:

Method #2: Using min() function

This function is used to find the minimum of the values passed as its arguments.

Example:

# Python program to find the

# minimum of two numbers

  

  

a = 2

b = 4

  

minimum = min(a, b)

print(minimum)
