If this is an assignment - which I suspect it is -and you can't use max - as @wavic suggested - you can just do a simple step-by-step search

Assign a new variable, e.g. the_greatest , to value of num1
Compare num2 to the_greatest , and if num2 is bigger - assign the_greatest to value of num2
etc..

Just write it in Python Cool

PS This kind of operations are usually done on lists

Test everything in a Python shell (iPython, Azure Notebook, etc.)

Someone gave you an advice you liked? Test it - maybe the advice was actually bad.
Someone gave you an advice you think is bad? Test it before arguing - maybe it was good.
You posted a claim that something you did not test works? Be prepared to eat your hat.
