Problem Statement

Three players each guess a positive integer greater than 0, and then share them simultaneously. The winner is chosen following this formula:

• If any two players have chosen the same number, the game is a tie.
• If all players have chosen even numbers, or all players have chosen odd numbers, then the smallest number wins.
• Otherwise, the largest number wins.

p1 = int(input("Enter a positive integer for player 1: "))
p2 = int(input("Enter a positive integer for player 2: "))
p3 = int(input("Enter a positive integer for player 3: "))

# debugging statements
print(f"player 1 chose {p1}")
print(f"player 2 chose {p2}")
print(f"player 3 chose {p3}")

Conditions to Check

• Are the numbers all even?
  • If so, which number is smallest?
• Are the numbers all odd?
  • If so, which number is smallest?
• Are the numbers not all even or odd
  • If so, which number is the largest?
• Are all numbers greater than 0?
