Hazrat Ali
Codechef
Consider a fraction abba. Its Height is defined as the maximum of its numerator and denominator. So, for example, the Height of 31 would be 19, and the Height of 274 would be 27.
Given aa and bb, find the Height of abba.
Input Format
The only line of input contains two integers, aa and bb.
Output Format
Output a single integer, which is the Height of abba.
Constraints
- 1≤a,b≤100
- a and b do not have any common factors.
Sample 1:
Input
3 19
Output
19
Explanation:
The maximum of {3,19}{3,19} is 19. Hence the Height of 193 is 19.
Sample 2:
Input
27 4
Output
27
Solution
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int a, b;
cin >> a >> b;
if (a > b)
{
cout << a << endl;
}
else if (a == b)
{
cout << (double)a / b << endl;
}
else
{
cout << b << endl;
}
return 0;
}
