This is supposedly 4.5 hours of hardcore programming. I was not taught how to indent/style my code properly, I was not told how to comment, I was prohibited from using arrays, loops, or anything that we "weren't taught yet". Feels batman.

max.cpp

/* max.cpp
 * Author: Kye Russell
 * Date:   25/07/2011
 *
 * Take two numbers and return the maximum of the two.
 */
 
 #include <iostream>
 
 using namespace std;
 
 int main() {
     double first, second, max; //define variables
     
     /* Ask for the two numbers, and write them to our variables */
     cout << "Enter two numbers, and I'll tell you the maximum of the two.\n\n";
     cout << "Enter the first number: "; cin >> first;
     cout << "Enter the second number: "; cin >> second;
     
     /* Discover the larger of the two numbers, and write it to max. */
     if (first > second) {
        max = first;
     } else {
       max = second;
     }
     
     /* Tell the user */
     cout << "The larger of the two numbers is..." << max << "!\n"; //print message
     system("pause"); //pause cli
     
     return 0;
}

maxavg.cpp

 * Take three numbers and give the total/average of every positive number entered.
