## Maximum of Two Numbers in Python

You can use the built-in `max()` function in Python to find the maximum of two numbers. Here's an example:

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

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

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

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

In this code:

- The `get_max_of_two_numbers()` function takes two arguments, `num1` and `num2`.
- It uses the `max()` function to compare the two numbers and returns the maximum value.
- The function returns an integer or float, which represents the maximum of the two input numbers.
- The example usage demonstrates how to call the function with two numbers and print the result.
