How do I find the maximum of 2 numbers?

Question

Use the builtin function max.

Example: max(2, 4) returns 4.

Just for giggles, there's a min as well...should you need it. :P

max()

max(number_one, number_two)

You can use max(value, run)

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

max(value,run)

should do it.
