Problem


Objective

In this challenge, you will learn simple usage of functions in C. Functions are a bunch of statements glued together. A function is provided with zero or more arguments, and it executes the statements on it. Based on the return type, it either returns nothing (void) or something.

A sample syntax for a function is
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
return_type function_name(arg_type_1 arg_1, arg_type_2 arg_2, ...) {
     ...
        ...
        ...
        [if return_type is non void]
         return something of type `return_type`;
    }

For example, a function to read four variables and return the sum of them can be written as
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
int sum_of_four(int a, int b, int c, int d) {
     int sum = 0;
        sum += a;
        sum += b;
        sum += c;
        sum += d;
        return sum;
    }



Task

You have to write a function int max_of_four(int a, int b, int c, int d) which reads four arguments and returns the greatest of them.

+= : Add and assignment operator. It adds the right operand to the left operand and assigns the result to the left operand.

a += b is equivalent to a = a + b;

Input Format

Input will contain four integers -  a,b,c,d one in each line.

Output Format

Print the greatest of the four integers.
Note: I/O will be automatically handled.



Sample Input

3
4
6
5

Sample Output

6

      int max(int a, int b) {
      if (a > b) {
      return a;
      return b;
      }

      in the main function

      return max(max(max(c, d), b), a);
