Logic to find the Largest of two numbers 

  • when the user clicks on the 'LargestNo' button, the Largest2No() function will get called.
  • In the Largest2No() function, Take two numbers from the user and stored them in n1 and n2.
  • compare n1 and n2 by using the if statement i.e if(n1>n2){ }, if n1 is greater than n2 then if statement will get executed. and you will print "n1 is the largest number".
  • if n1 is less than n2 then else part will get executed and hence you will print "n2 is the largest number".
