The problem

Find the max number of two numbers.

Hints

Ask the user to enter two numbers.

Then, you can run a comparison to compare which one is larger.

Think about it and try yourself first.

Solution

num1=int(input("First number: ")) num2=int(input("Second number: ")) if (num2>=num1): largest=num2else: largest=num1print("Largest number you entered is: ", largest)

Shortcut

Another simple and alternative solution is to send the numbers to the max function.

num1=int(input("First number: ")) num2=int(input("Second number: ")) largest=max(num1, num2) print("Largest number you entered is: ", largest)

Alternative Solution

Another alternative approach is to use the floor method from the math module. If you pass a number with a fraction to the math.floor function, it will return you the integer part of the number.

For example,

importmathresult=math.floor(3.4) print(result)
