Biggest of three numbers

Return the largest of the three numbers a, b and c, without using max().

What you need

if runs its indented lines only when the condition is true. A variable can be changed later: keep the biggest so far and replace it when you find a bigger one.

biggest = a
if b > biggest:
    biggest = b

Examples

Input a = 1, b = 5, c = 3

Output 5

Input a = -5, b = -2, c = -9

Output -2
