Python Tutorials - While loop: find the largest number from a large set of entered data

largestNumber.py

# Choose a low number and make it the current max number
max = -99999999

# get the first value from user 
number = int(input("Enter value or -1 to stop: "))

# if the number is not equal to -1, execute the following loop
while number != 1:
  if number > max:  # if the number entered is greater than the current max number,
    max = number    # store this number as the max number
  number = int(input("Enter value or -1 to stop: "))  # keep asking for input until user inputs -1 to quit

print("The largest number from the numbers you entered is:", max) # Prints the maximum number
