Assume that the grader defines two variables A and B for you. Write a
program which prints out the value
min(A, B)
However, there is a catch: your program is not allowed to use the min
function. Instead, use max in a clever way to simulate min.
--------------------------------------
Code that gave best results but didn't work for negative numbers...
--------------------------------------
Original = abs(max (-A, -B))
print (Original)
--------------------------------------
Did not pass tests.
You change the sign of A and B before passing them to max(). To revert
that afterwards, you just need to change the sign of the result again.
abs() indeed doesn't work for that: it only changes the sign on negative
numbers, not on positive numbers.
