[Tutor] python coding problem

[Richard Koeman]

This is my first time using this so I hope it works.
I am trying to find out why this code doesnt work.
Its simple.  I want to find out which number is bigger.

I hope you can help and that I am using this python feature properly.
Thanks.
The function prints the first two print statements then nothing else
happens.

def maximum(n1, n2):
  print "the first number is" ,n1
  print "the second number is", n2
  if n1 > n2:
    return
    print n1 , "is the bigger number"
  elif n1 < n2:
    return n2
    print n2
  elif n1 == n2:
    print "they are equal"
  else:
    print "Sorry, No response found"
maximum(1,2)
