Question

C -Language Assign to maxSum the max of (numA, numB) PLUS the max of (numY, numZ). Use just one statement. Hint: Call FindMax() twice in an expression.

#include <stdio.h>

double FindMax(double num1, double num2) {
   double maxVal;

   // Note: if-else statements need not be understood to complete this activity
   if (num1 > num2) { // if num1 is greater than num2,
      maxVal = num1; // then num1 is the maxVal.
   }
   else {             // Otherwise,
      maxVal = num2; // num2 is the maxVal.
   }

   return maxVal;
}

int main(void) {
   double numA;
   double numB;
   double numY;
   double numZ;
   double maxSum;

   scanf("%lf", &numA);
   scanf("%lf", &numB);
   scanf("%lf", &numY);
   scanf("%lf", &numZ);

   /* Your solution goes here */

   printf("maxSum is: %.1f\n", maxSum);

   return 0;
}

#include <stdio.h>

double FindMax(double num1, double num2) {
    double maxVal;
    // Note: if-else statements need not be understood to complete this activity
    if (num1 > num2) { // if num1 is greater than num2,
        maxVal = num1; // then num1 is the maxVal.
    } else {             // Otherwise,
        maxVal = num2; // num2 is the maxVal.
    }
    return maxVal;
}

int main(void) {
    double numA;
    double numB;
    double numY;
    double numZ;
    double maxSum;

    scanf("%lf", &numA);
    scanf("%lf", &numB);
    scanf("%lf", &numY);
    scanf("%lf", &numZ);

    maxSum = FindMax(numA, numB) + FindMax(numY, numZ);

    printf("maxSum is: %.1f\n", maxSum);

    return 0;
