Answer to Question #261587 in Python for Mikee

Question

6. Largest Digit

by CodeChum Admin

This one is a bit tricky. You're going to have to isolate each digit of the integer to determine which one is the largest, so good luck!

Instructions:

1. Input a 3-digit integer.
2. Print the largest digit in the integer.
3. Tip #1: Use % 10 to get the rightmost digit. For example, if you do 412 % 10, then the result would be the rightmost digit, which is 2.
4. Tip #2: On the other hand, use / 10 to remove the rightmost digit. For example, if you do 412 / 10, then the result would be 41.
5. Tip #3: You'd have to repeat Tip #1 and Tip #2 three times for this problem because the input is a 3-digit integer.

Instructions

1. Input one 3-digit integer.
2. Print the largest digit in the integer. (Hint: use % 10 to get the rightmost digit and / 10 to remove it)

Input

A line containing a three-digit integer.

173

Output

A line containing a single-digit integer

7

Answer 1

number=int(input())
largestDigit=0
while number>0:
    digit=number%10
    if largestDigit<digit:
        largestDigit=digit
    number=number//10
print(largestDigit)
