Largest of Two Numbers

Write a program that accepts two numbers and prints the largest number.

Understand the Problem

Problem Statement

The program must accept two numbers and print the largest number.

Constraints

The input consists of exactly two integers separated by a space.
Both numbers are valid integers within standard integer range for the programming language.
No special characters or invalid input need to be handled.

Examples

Example 1

Input

12 25

Output

Explanation

Since 25 is greater than 12, 25 is printed as the largest number.

Example 2

Input

9 5

Output

Explanation

Since 9 is greater than 5, 9 is printed as the largest number.

Solution

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    int num1, num2;
    scanf("%d %d", &num1, &num2);
    
    if (num1 > num2) {
        printf("%d", num1);
    } else {
        printf("%d", num2);
    }
    
    return 0;
}

Time:O(1)

Space:O(1)

Approach:

The C solution reads two integers using scanf, then uses an if-else statement to compare them. If num1 is greater than num2, it prints num1; otherwise, it prints num2. The program returns 0 to indicate successful execution.
