Answer 1

#a function named max that accepts two integer values as arguments
#and returns the value that is the greater of the two.
def max(firstNumber, secondNumber ):
    if firstNumber > secondNumber:
        return firstNumber
    return secondNumber


#prompts the user to enter two integer values
firstNumber=int(input("Input the first number: "))
secondNumber=int(input("Input the second number: "))
#get max value
maxValue=max(firstNumber,secondNumber)
#display the value that is the greater of the two.
print(f"The maximum value is {maxValue}")
