Functions

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

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

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;
}

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.

Input Format

Input will contain four integers - , one in each line.
