Theory Click to read/hide

Consider the second variant of solving the problem of finding the maximum of two numbers. 
In the second program, we will first write the maximum value to an additional  variable (let's name it \(M\))

Problem

1, Run the program for execution.
2. Analyze the result and make sure that the \(M\) variable contains the value of the \(a\) if \(a > b\) and \(M = b\) if < span class="math-tex">\(b > a\).
3. Answer the question: What block will be executed if \(a = b\)?
