Design a function named max that accepts two integer values as arguments and returns the value that is greater?
For example: if 7 and 12 are passed as arguments to the function, the function should return 12. Use the function in a program that prompts the user to enter two integer values. The program should display the value that is greater of the two.
Which part of that assignment are you having trouble with?
#Jason Edgel
#Program of max values
def function_max(value1,value2)
if value1 > value2 then
return value1
else
return value2
print "Please enter to integar value:"
value1 = input("Please enter to integar value:")
print "input =", value1
value2 = input("Please enter to integar value:")
print "input =", value2
I can't get the spacing correct, at the very beginning after I define (value1,value2) it shows a syntax error, with red for the space there, I have tried erasing then hitting enter below, no dice...:@
So you have not learned the syntax, good place to start to learn it is to go through the tutorial at http://docs.python.org/tutorial/index.html
The body of a function definition needs to be indented.
The "then" keyword does not exist in Python and the "else" keyword must be indented at the same level as the corresponding "if". The body of the else clause must also be indented, just like the body of the if.
You're also missing colons everywhere.
#Jason Edgel
#Program of max values
def function_max(value1,value2)
if value1 > value2 then:
return value1
else
return value2
print "Please enter to integar value:"
value1 = input("Please enter to integar value:")
print "input =", value1
value2 = input("Please enter to integar value:")
print "input =", value2
added colon and fixed some indenting, still has the problem right at the top after value... there is nothing there so I dont know why it's red.
Once you learn which statement blocks belong together, then indentation makes more sense. Just think about it. It's all rather logical:
# Jason Edgel
# Program to find max value
def function_max(value1, value2):
if value1 > value2:
return value1
else:
return value2
# get the two integer values
value1 = input("Please enter first integer value: ")
value2 = input("Please enter second integer value: ")
# call the function
max_value = function_max(value1, value2)
# show the result
print "Max value = ", max_value

def Max(arg1,arg2):
if arg1 > arg2:
return arg1
else:
return arg2
print "Enter first number:",
a = int (raw_input("> "))
print "Enter second number:",
b = int (raw_input("> "))
Max_value = Max(a,b)
print "The greater of the two is:", Max_value
in case the numbers entered are floating points:

def Max(arg1,arg2):
if arg1 > arg2:
return arg1
else:
return arg2
print "Enter first number:",
a = float (raw_input("> "))
print "Enter second number:",
b = float (raw_input("> "))
Max_value = Max(a,b)
print "The greater of the two is:", Max_value
need help with Pseudocode for design a function named max that accepts two integer values as arguments and returns the value that is the greater of the two. For example, if 7 and 12 are passed as arguments to the function, the function should return 12. Use the function in a program that prompts the user to enter two integer values. The program should display the value that is the greater of the two. I have the program code I am having trouble with the Pseudocode
Exactly what trouble are you having? What help do you need?
You say you have the code. Did you write it or is it just something random that you found on the web?
If you have good code, then the pseudo code is just an explanation of that code in a simpler, more English, form.
I am having trouble formatting it the proper way, I am new to python so I am still learning
this is my code
for some reason it will not allow me to post my code
