(Python) Maximum of Two Values

Write a function named max that accepts two integer values a 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 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.

THis code doesnt work

main.cpp

#include using namespace std; int max(int num1, int num2); int main () { int a,b; cout<<"Enter two integer values : "; cin>>a>>b; cout< num2) result = num1; else result = num2; return result; }
