Hello there are 2 questions I need help writing a program in Python language at a beginner level.

1) This is a simple introduction to Decisions or if (if/else) statements. You will need two input statements and then a decision statement to compare the values.

Write a program that takes in two integers and outputs the larger value. If the two integers are the same, output the integers' value.

Ex: If the input is:

4 2 

the output is:

4

2) Remember you can use the len method to compare the lengths of strings.

Write a program that takes in two strings and outputs the longest string. If they are the same length then output the second string.

Ex. If the input is:

almond pistachio 

the output is:

pistachio
