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

      max_val = num_2   # num2 is the maxVal
   return max_val

print('max_sum is:', max_sum)


Output:

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