Question

def a(x,y):
s=str(x)
r=''
ind=len(s)
while ind>0:
r+=s[ind-1]
ind-=1
q=print(r[0])
d=str(y)
w=''
ind1=len(d)
while ind1>0:
w+=d[ind1-1]
ind1-=1
e=print(w[0])
if r>w:
print(x)
elif r<w:
print(y)

x=int(input('enter first number '))
y=int(input('enter second number '))
print(a(x,y))

i want to check the highest one'place digit only

Answer 1

You'll see some numbers being printed. That's due to "q = print(r[0])" and "e = print(w[0])".

if r > w:
return x
else:
return y
