To write a program to find the largest of 2 numbers use the if-else statement in Python, You have to compare two numbers using the if-else statement and will print the largest number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Python program to find the largest of 2 numbers example<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A simple example code prints <\/a>the greatest of two numbers using an if-else statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

def maximum(a, b):\n    if a >= b:\n        return a\n    else:\n        return b\n\n\n# Driver code\na = 0\nb = 7\nprint(\"Largest number\", maximum(a, b))\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Output<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n
\n
\"Python<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
Using user input<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
# Input two numbers from the user\r\nnum1 = float(input(\"Enter the first number: \"))\r\nnum2 = float(input(\"Enter the second number: \"))\r\n\r\n# Compare the two numbers and find the largest\r\nif num1 > num2:\r\n    largest = num1\r\nelse:\r\n    largest = num2\r\n\r\n# Print the largest number\r\nprint(\"The largest number is:\", largest)\r<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
In this program:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. We use the input<\/code> function to get two numbers from the user, and we convert them to floating-point numbers using float()<\/code> since we want to handle decimal values as well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. We compare the two numbers using an if<\/code> statement. If num1<\/code> is greater than num2<\/code>, we set largest<\/code> to num1<\/code>, otherwise, we set it to num2<\/code>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Finally, we print out the largest number using the print<\/code> function.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    You can run this program, and it will tell you which of the two numbers is the largest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    <\/div>\n\n\n\n
    Do comment if you have any doubts or suggestions on this Python program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
