Question

I need to compose a program in python that takes two floats a and b from the command line and prints out one per line, the square of the larger a or b. Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

import sys

if len(sys.argv) < 3:
    print("Please provide two numbers as command line arguments")
else:
    a = float(sys.argv[1])
    b = float(sys.argv[2])
    print(a)
    print(b)
    if a > b:
        print(a * a)
    else:
        print(b * b)
