Homework Hack

Write a Python program that takes two numbers as input from the user. The program should:

Determine if the numbers are equal. If the numbers are different, print which number is larger.

# Get input from the user
num1 = float(input("Enter the first number: "))
num2 = float(input("Enter the second number: "))

# Compare the numbers
if num1 == num2:
    print("The numbers are equal.")
else:
    if num1 > num2:
        print(f"The larger number is: {num1}")
    else:
        print(f"The larger number is: {num2}")
