[Python] 3.11 Lab: Smallest number

Write a program whose inputs are three integers, and whose output is the smallest of the three values.

If the input is:

7
15
3


The output is: 3
​

This is the code I have come up with:

num1 = input()
num2 = input()
num3 = input()

if (num1 < num2):
if (num1 < num3):
smallest_num = num1
elif (num2 < num1):
if (num2 < num3):
smallest_num = num2
else:
smallest_num = num3
print(smallest_num)


This code works for that input, however if you input "29, 6, 17" it returned no output with an error

NameError: name 'smallest_num' is not defined".


I have dinked around quite a bit and tried adding smallest_num = min(num1, num2, num3) however nothing has yielded a passing output.
