How do I find a maximum of 2 numbers?

Question

How to find a maximum of 2 numbers?

value = -9999 run = problem.getscore() 

I need to compare 2 values ​​ie value and run and find a maximum of 2. Do I need a python function to work it?

Answer 1

Use the built-in max function.

Example: max(2, 4) returns 4.

Just for a giggle, there is min ... if you need it. :P

Answer 2

max()

Answer 3

max(number_one, number_two)

Answer 4

You can use max(value, run)

The max function takes any number of arguments or (alternatively) an iteration and returns the maximum value.

Answer 5

 max(value,run) 

must do it.

Answer 6

Just for fun, after the party is over and the horse is locked.

Answer: max() !

Answer 7

You can also achieve the same result using a conditional expression :

 maxnum = run if run > value else value 

slightly more flexible than max , but admittedly longer for input.

Answer 8

I noticed that if you have units rounded to an integer, it would be better to use:

c=float(max(a1,...,an))/b

Sorry for posting late!

Answer 9

 numberList=[16,19,42,43,74,66] largest = numberList[0] for num2 in numberList: if num2 > largest: largest=num2 print(largest) 

gives the largest number from the list of numbers without using the Max operator

Answer 10

(num1>=num2)*num1+(num2>num1)*num2 will return a maximum of two values.
