Sample Solution:

Python Code:

a = float(input("Input first number: "))
b = float(input("Input second number: "))
c = float(input("Input third number: "))
if a > b:
    if a < c:
        median = a
    elif b > c:
        median = b
    else:
        median = c
else:
    if a > c:
        median = a
    elif b < c:
        median = b
    else:
        median = c

print("The median is", median)

Sample Output:

Input first number: 25                                                                                        
Input second number: 55                                                                                       
Input third number: 65                                                                                        
The median is 55.0

Python Basic - 1: Exercise-18 with Solution

Write a Python program to find the median among three given numbers.

Pictorial Presentation:

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

x = input("Input the first number")
y = input("Input the second number")
z = input("Input the third number")
print("Median of the above three numbers -")

if y < x and x < z:
    print(x)
elif z < x and x < y:
    print(x)
    
elif z < y and y < x:
    print(y)
elif x < y and y < z:
    print(y)
    
elif y < z and z < x:
    print(z)    
elif x < z and z < y:
    print(z)

Sample Output:

Input the first number 25
Input the second number 15
Input the third number 35
Median of the above three numbers -
25

How do you find the median of three numbers?

Median Example The median is the number in the middle {2, 3, 11, 13, 26, 34, 47}, which in this instance is 13 since there are three numbers on either side. To find the median value in a list with an even amount of numbers, one must determine the middle pair, add them, and divide by two.

How do you calculate median in Python?

The statistics. median() method calculates the median (middle value) of the given data set. This method also sorts the data in ascending order before calculating the median. Tip: The mathematical formula for Median is: Median = {(n + 1) / 2}th value, where n is the number of values in a set of data.
