Given the variables name1 and name2, write a fragment of code that assigns the larger of their associated values to first.

We can compare strings like numbers,

if "a" > "b":

do something

Solutions will be

Python:

first = max (name1, name2)

second = min (name1, name2)

Or if we are not supposed to use max () and min (), we can achieve the same thing with a conditional,

Python:

if name1 > name2: ...
