Question

Assign max_sum with the greater of num_a and num_b, PLUS the greater of num_y and num_z. Use just one statement. Hint: Call find_max() twice in an expression. Must work in zyBooks.

Sample output with inputs: 5.0 10.0 3.0 7.0max_sum is: 17.0def find_max(num_1, num_2):
   max_val = 0.0

   if (num_1 > num_2):  # if num1 is greater than num2,
      max_val = num_1   # then num1 is the maxVal.
   else:                # Otherwise,
      max_val = num_2   # num2 is the maxVal
   return max_val

max_sum = 0.0

num_a = float(input())
num_b = float(input())
num_y = float(input())
num_z = float(input())

max_sum = find_max(num_a,num_b)+find_max(num_y,num_z)

print('max_sum is:', max_sum)
