max two numbers c++

To find the maximum of two numbers in C++, you can follow these steps:

  1. Declare two variables to hold the numbers. For example, you can declare two integer variables named "num1" and "num2".

  2. Prompt the user to enter the first number and store it in the "num1" variable. You can use the "cin" function to read user input.

  3. Prompt the user to enter the second number and store it in the "num2" variable using the "cin" function.

  4. Use an "if" statement to compare the values of "num1" and "num2". If "num1" is greater than "num2", then it is the maximum number. In this case, you can print a message indicating that "num1" is the maximum.

  5. If "num1" is not greater than "num2", it means that "num2" is the maximum number. In this case, you can print a message indicating that "num2" is the maximum.

Here's an example code snippet that demonstrates these steps:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main() {
  int num1, num2;

  cout << "Enter the first number: ";
  cin >> num1;

  cout << "Enter the second number: ";
  cin >> num2;

  if (num1 > num2) {
    cout << "The maximum number is: " << num1 << endl;
  } else {
    cout << "The maximum number is: " << num2 << endl;
  }

  return 0;
}

This code declares two integer variables, "num1" and "num2", and prompts the user to enter two numbers. It then compares the values of "num1" and "num2" using an "if" statement and prints the maximum number accordingly.
