Exercize to understand from three numbers which is more high

[Ian Clark]

Like this?

num_max = 0
num_index = 0
name_list =
['first','second','third','fourth','fifth','sixth','seventh','eighth','ninth','tenth']
name_it = name_list.pop(0)


while num_index <3:
 try:
  num_list = int( input(f"Insert the {name_it} number: "))

 except ValueError:
  print('Not a number, try again!')
 else:
  num_index += 1
  if num_list > num_max:
   num_max = num_list
  name_it = name_list.pop(0)

print(f"Max number is: {num_max}")
