Write a function max_magnitude() with three integer parameters that returns the largest magnitude value. Use the function in the main program that takes three integer inputs and outputs the largest magnitude value. Ex: If the inputs are: 5 7 9 function max_magnitude() returns and the main program outputs: 9 Ex: If the inputs are: -17 -8 -2 function max_magnitude() returns and the main program outputs: -17 Note: The function does not just return the largest value, which for -17 -8 -2 would be -2. Though not necessary, you may use the built-in absolute value function to determine the max magnitude, but you must still output the input number (Ex: Output -17, not 17). Your program must define and call the following function: def max_magnitude(user_val1, user_val2, user_val3)

Question

Write a function max_magnitude() with three integer parameters that returns the largest magnitude value. Use the function in the main program that takes three integer inputs and outputs the largest magnitude value.

Ex: If the inputs are:

5 7 9

function max_magnitude() returns and the main program outputs:

9

Ex: If the inputs are:

-17 -8 -2

function max_magnitude() returns and the main program outputs:

-17

Note: The function does not just return the largest value, which for -17 -8 -2 would be -2. Though not necessary, you may use the built-in absolute value function to determine the max magnitude, but you must still output the input number (Ex: Output -17, not 17).

Your program must define and call the following function:
def max_magnitude(user_val1, user_val2, user_val3)

Follow-up Question

Thank you so much for the prompt reply.  However, this code is not working.  I"m getting an error with the last part of the code :

def main():
    # get user input
    a, b, c  = [int(x) for x in input().split()]  

 

    # call function
    res = max_magnitude(a, b, c)
    print(res)
 
Error states a b c is not defined
