Steps to reproduce:

I used the python funtion max() to find the maximum number from 2 numbers.
It gives me expected output when i used only positive numbers. But it not worked for Negative numbers..

i have suggestion to resolve it
we can modify this as written below:
num1 = -4
num2 = -2
if(num1&&num2 <0):
if(num1>num2):
return num2
else:
num1

else:
if num1>=num2:
return num1
else:
num2

m=max(num1,num2)
print(m)

Ans is -4

Actual results:

num1 = -4
num2 = -2
m=max(num1,num2)
print(m)

Ans is -4

num1 = 10
num2 = 20
m=max(num1,num2)
print(m)

Ans is 20

Expected results:

num1 = -4
num2 = -2
m=max(num1,num2)
print(m)

Ans should -2

num1 = 10
num2 = 20
m=max(num1,num2)
print(m)

Ans is 20
