+Hello Fellows!
+
+Write a program that repeatedly prompts a user for integer numbers until the user enters 'done'. 
+Once 'done' is entered, print out the largest and smallest of the numbers. 
+If the user enters anything other than a valid number catch it with a try/except and put out an appropriate message and ignore the number.
+
+
+Begin writing the program with the code below:
+largest = None
+smallest = None
+while True:
+    num = raw_input("Enter a number: ")
+    if num == "done" : break
+    print num
+
+print "Maximum", largest

+WRITING PROGRAMS OR PROGRAMMING IS A VERY CREATIVE
+AND REWARDING ACTIVITY  YOU CAN WRITE PROGRAMS FOR
+MANY REASONS RANGING FROM MAKING YOUR LIVING TO SOLVING
+A DIFFICULT DATA ANALYSIS PROBLEM TO HAVING FUN TO HELPING
+SOMEONE ELSE SOLVE A PROBLEM  THIS BOOK ASSUMES THAT
+{\EM EVERYONE} NEEDS TO KNOW HOW TO PROGRAM AND THAT ONCE
+YOU KNOW HOW TO PROGRAM, YOU WILL FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU WANT
+TO DO WITH YOUR NEWFOUND SKILLS
+
+WE ARE SURROUNDED IN OUR DAILY LIVES WITH COMPUTERS RANGING
+FROM LAPTOPS TO CELL PHONES  WE CAN THINK OF THESE COMPUTERS
+AS OUR PERSONAL ASSISTANTS WHO CAN TAKE CARE OF MANY THINGS
+ON OUR BEHALF  THE HARDWARE IN OUR CURRENT-DAY COMPUTERS
+IS ESSENTIALLY BUILT TO CONTINUOUSLY AS US THE QUESTION
+WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO DO NEXT
+
+OUR COMPUTERS ARE FAST AND HAVE VASTS AMOUNTS OF MEMORY AND
+COULD BE VERY HELPFUL TO US IF WE ONLY KNEW THE LANGUAGE TO
+SPEAK TO EXPLAIN TO THE COMPUTER WHAT WE WOULD LIKE IT TO
+DO NEXT IF WE KNEW THIS LANGUAGE WE COULD TELL THE
+COMPUTER TO DO TASKS ON OUR BEHALF THAT WERE REPTITIVE
+INTERESTINGLY, THE KINDS OF THINGS COMPUTERS CAN DO BEST
+ARE OFTEN THE KINDS OF THINGS THAT WE HUMANS FIND BORING

+Count these lines and extract the floating point values from each of the lines and compute

+Do not use the sum() function or a variable named sum in your solution.
