Thread: Easy programming help

hey, I got this assignment to do and i need some help... im very new to this, please help,,

task:
Your assignment is to write a small C-program that has two variables ‘x’ and ‘y’, bothgiven two integer values (you can choose the values). The program should compare thevalue of these two variables and print out only the largest of these two values. Theprogram should work with any integer values of ‘x’ and ‘y’.

anyone help me with code etc.

First you declare 2 variable and compare this two variable. If your two variable is a and b you can write like this
Code
if(a>b)
printf(" A is larger");
else
printf("B is larger");

I'd recommend writing a function that takes two integers and returns the largest one.

That way you can literally just write:

Code:

int const x = ...;
int const y = ...;
printf("%d\n", maximum(x, y));

That's very simple all you have to do is compare both integers using an if-else statement

Code:

if(x > y)
  printf("x is larger than y");
else
  printf("y is larger than x");
