A programe to find the maximum of two numbers using python

Question

#The problem is when the given numbers are equal , the output looks like :"The...equal" and additional "None"
#How is it that this "None" is appearing
def max(x,y):
if x==y:
return print("The numbers are equal")
if x>=y:
return (x)
else:
if y>=x:
return(y)
print(max(5,5))

Answer 1

You don't need a "print", right?

return ("The numbers are equal")

Answer 2

max() is easiest.
But try not returning a print()

Answer 3

Or here's another:
a=5
b=5
print(a) if a>b else print(b) #ternary operators

Answer 4

Just call the max() methode by passing as parameters yours numbers.
Eg1. max(2,5,4,10) #=>Will return 10

Eg2: n1=23
n2=12
max(n1,n2)#=>returns 23
And if you want to print the result using the print function: print(max(n1,n2))

Answer 5

max is a Python builtin function

Answer 6

to explain where None is coming from. see below, that is what you did:

a= print(" some text") # a = None
return a

Answer 8

or try:
def maxi(x,y):
if x==y:
return print("The numbers are equal")
elif x>=y:
return (x)
else:
return(y)

print(maxi(5,5))
