returning from function

Question

if x >=y:
return x
else:
return y

print(max(4, 7))
z = max(8, 5)
print(z)
let me know the explanation of this coding

Answer 1

you defined a function named max which returns the first element if that is greater or equal and second element if that is greater.

at first, you called the function fir 4 and 7. as 7 is greater, the output is 7

And then, you called the function for 8 and 5 in the z variable. As 8 is greater than 5, 8 is stored in z. Then you printed z which is 8.
