max_minus_min_abs - whatdoyoumeanitwontpassthru - Sep-17-2023
I have to come up with a code for max_minus_min_abs but I am confused on where to enter the numbers I am passing through. This is what I am using
import math
def max_minus_min_abs(first_num, second_num):
return max(first_num, second_num) - min(first_num, second_num)
print(max_minus_min_abs(15, 4))

You don't seem to need to import math, unless you are doing something else as well.
def max_minus_min_abs(first_num, second_num):
return max(first_num, second_num) - min(first_num, second_num)
# split returns a list of strings here
nums = input('Enter 2 numbers separated by a space. ').split(' ')
# use int() to make an integer from the string
result = max_minus_min_abs(int(nums[0]), int(nums[1])
print(f'the difference between {nums[0]} and {nums[1]} is', result)

Like this:
import math
def max_minus_min_abs(first_num, second_num):
return max(first_num, second_num) - min(first_num, second_num)
print(max_minus_min_abs(15, 4))Indentation is used to block code in Python. The indenting in your code made the print statement part of the max_minus_min_abs function.
