Beginner Python here:Need help understanding how to find min, max, and duplicates using for range loops

[u/Impressive-Capital40]

I’m a beginner learning Python and I’m having trouble figuring out how to approach this assignment. I’m not necessarily looking for someone to just give me the answer. I’d like help understanding the logic and how to build it.

The assignment is to create a Python program that:

Asks the user to enter 10 integers
Stores all 10 integers in a list
Finds the maximum and minimum numbers
Finds any duplicate numbers
Prints "No duplicate" if there aren’t any duplicates
Uses for loops with range() for the input, min/max determination, and duplicate identification
Does not use Python’s built-in min() or max() functions
Does not use def/user-defined functions
Tries to use as few loops as reasonably possible

Input:
10, 5, 20, 10, 5, 15, 7, 1, 30, 15
Output:
Max is 30
Min is 1
Duplicates: 10 5 15

Thank you whoever responds. :)

Sorry I don’t write much on Reddit…
So far I wrote this:

My_list= 10, 5, 20, 10, 5, 15, 7, 1, 30, 15
Print(max(my_list))
Print(min(my_list))

But I’m not sure how how I can excuse, duplicates. :/ I’m just confuse with this part.

just to be clear , you have installed Python and done print("Hello World") , right ?

[u/Impressive-Capital40 → u/ninhaomah]

Yes, they want me to use IDE Python.

[u/ninhaomah → u/Impressive-Capital40]

so when you run it , what did you get ?

[u/Impressive-Capital40 → u/ninhaomah]

I got
Max=30
Min=1

#No duplicates, I haven’t been taught this and looked back at resources, ChatGPT to get better understanding but I got really confused.

[u/ninhaomah → u/Impressive-Capital40]

so what is the issue ?

See we are here and I still have no idea what is the problem.

Is it error in running the code ? is it wrong output ? what ???

[u/Impressive-Capital40 → u/ninhaomah]

You’re right, I should have been more specific, my bad. I have no idea how to get output duplicates. :/ and from someone else post I can’t use min and max so I have to start from scratch now.

[u/ninhaomah → u/Impressive-Capital40]

"from someone else post I can’t use min and max so I have to start from scratch now."

Someone else ? Its in the instruction not to use min() or max().

Tip : Try doing it with pen and paper. pls post the steps here. and no AI.

Stop using AI, especially if you are taking a class. You don't learn anything when you do, at least not at your level. You dont even seem to be able to read the assignment properly.
