Highest and Slowest Number Finder in Python

This sample program will ask the user to give a series of number and then our program will determine which of the given number is the highest and the lowest using Python as my programming language.  The code is very simple and easy to understand. In order to stop running the program the user can simply type the keyword "ok".
