A REFUTE QUESTION REPORT - Python

Problem Statement 1:

Finds the second largest number in a list.

Code:

nums = list(map(int, input("Enter numbers separated by spaces: ").split()))

# Initializing largest and second largest to a very small value

#'-inf' is the samllest possible value

largest = second_largest = float('-inf')

for num in nums:

if num > largest:

second_largest = largest

largest = num

elif num > second_largest and num != largest:

second_largest = num

print(f"Second largest number: {second_largest}")

Output:

Error: The error occurs when there are duplicate largest numbers in the list. In such a case,
the second_largest remains as -inf

Solution:

Giving out if-else conditions with giving ‘same number entered’

Code:
nums = list(map(int, input("Enter numbers separated by spaces: ").split()))

# Check if there are at least two numbers in the list

if len(nums) < 2:

print("List should have at least two numbers")

else:

# Initialize largest and second largest to negative infinity

largest = second_largest = float('-inf')

# Loop through the numbers to find the largest and second largest

for num in nums:

if num > largest:

second_largest = largest

largest = num

elif num > second_largest and num != largest:

second_largest = num

# Check if second largest number was found

if second_largest == float('-inf'):

print("Same number is entered")

else:

print(f"Second largest number: {second_largest}")

Output:
Refuge:

The error occurs when there are duplicate largest numbers in the list. In such a case, the
second_largest remains as -inf, which triggers the "same number is entered" message.
Problem Statement 2:
An code with indentation error.

Code:

def greet_user(name):
print(f"Hello, {name}!")
print("Welcome to the Python world!") # Indentation error here

def main():
user_name = input("Enter your name: ")
greet_user(user_name)

if __name__ == "__main__":
main()

Output:

Error: The second print("Welcome to the Python world!") is not properly indented. It should
be inside the greet_user function but is indented incorrectly, leading to an IndentationError.
In Python, the body of a function or control structure must be indented consistently.

Code:

def greet_user(name):
print(f"Hello, {name}!")
print("Welcome to the Python world!") # Correct indentation
def main():
user_name = input("Enter your name: ")
greet_user(user_name)

if __name__ == "__main__":
main()

Output:
