How do I find the maximum of 2 numbers?

# Python 3
value = -9999
run = int(input())

maxnum = run if run > value else value
print(maxnum)

There are multiple ways to achieve this:

1. Custom method

def maximum(a, b):
if a >= b:
    return a
else:
    return b
 
value = -9999
run = problem.getscore()
print(maximum(value, run))

2. Unbuilt max()

value = -9999
run = problem.getscore()
print(max(value, run))

3. Use of ternary operator

value = -9999
run = problem.getscore()
print(value if value >= run else run)

But as you mentioned you are looking for inbuilt so you can use max()
