[Tutor] Problems understanding code output

[Andrew Van Valkenburg]

I'm not really sure what you are asking, but the formatting for your code
is pretty screwy.  I reformatted it and changed the print statements
slightly to make it more readable and it works fine from what I can see.

def printMax(a, b):
  if a > b:
    print a, 'is maximum'
  elif a == b:
    print a, 'is equal to', b
  else: print b, 'is maximum'

printMax(3,4)
