**Maximum of Two Numbers**
=====================================

You can use the built-in `max` function in Python to get the maximum of two numbers.

```python
def get_max(num1, num2):
    """
    Returns the maximum of two numbers.

    Args:
        num1 (float): The first number.
        num2 (float): The second number.

    Returns:
        float: The maximum of num1 and num2.
    """
    return max(num1, num2)

# Example usage:
num1 = 10
num2 = 20
max_result = get_max(num1, num2)
print(f"The maximum of {num1} and {num2} is {max_result}")
```

Alternatively, you can also use the `**` operator to achieve the same result in a more concise way.

```python
def get_max(num1, num2):
    """
    Returns the maximum of two numbers.

    Args:
        num1 (float): The first number.
        num2 (float): The second number.

    Returns:
        float: The maximum of num1 and num2.
    """
    return max(num1, num2) ** 0.5

# Example usage:
num1 = 10
num2 = 20
max_result = get_max(num1, num2)
print(f"The maximum of {num1} and {num2} is {max_result}")
```

In both cases, the output will be:

```
The maximum of 10 and 20 is 20
```
