Question

def max(x, y):
if x>y:
return x
else:
return y

print(max(7, 9))

grt=max(x, y)
print (grt)

Answer 1

@Kyle Broflovski is right for last two lines, but block inside the function is indented ( of only once space before the if )...
Unfortualy, in the question author version, the print() line is also indented with one space, so it's considered as in the function block :P
So, @Kyle solution is ok for fix the indentation error, but anyway, the line:

grt=max(x, y)

... will throw an undeclared variable error ( unless some values were assigned to 'x' and 'y' somewhere before in a part of code not provided ^^ )

Answer 2

your grt and print at the bottom are indented and your if statement inside your function isn't. inside if/else get 4 space indent.. inside function also get 4 space indent.

def max(x, y):
if x>y:
return x
else:
return y

print(max(7, 9))

grt=max(x, y)
print (grt)
