Help Needed : script weird result.

[mohan4h at gmail.com]

All,

I m trying to run this small script to find the lowest of the given array of numbers. The script works fine for various combination of inputs but fails in a weird way for a particular set of inputs, can anyone point the mistake in the script and the behavior.

Script

x = input ("Enter the numbers separated by space and press ENTER :")
x = x.split(" ")

def checkmin(arr):
    lowest = arr[0]
    for count in range(0,len(arr),1):
        if arr[count] < lowest :
            lowest = arr[count]
        else :
            pass
        print (lowest)
    return lowest

minimum = checkmin(x)
print ("Lowest : {0}".format (minimum))


Weird output is as below.
