Python: Find the three smallest integers from a given list of numbers using Heap queue algorithm

Python heap queue algorithm: Exercise-2 with Solution

Write a Python program to find the three smallest integers from a given list of numbers using the heap queue algorithm.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

import heapq as hq
nums_list = [25, 35, 22, 85, 14, 65, 75, 22, 58]
print("Original list:")
print(nums_list)
# Find three smallest values
largest_nums = hq.nsmallest(3, nums_list)
print("\nThree smallest numbers are:", largest_nums)

Sample Output:

Original list:
[25, 35, 22, 85, 14, 65, 75, 22, 58]

Three smallest numbers are: [14, 22, 22]
