Hints

Start by assuming a is the biggest.

Compare b and c against your current biggest one at a time.

Solution explanation

Keep track of the largest value so far and replace it whenever a bigger one comes along. This “best so far” idea works for lists of any length too.

Show solution

def biggest(a, b, c):
    largest = a
    if b > largest:
        largest = b
    if c > largest:
        largest = c
    return largest


a, b, c = [int(x) for x in input().split()]
print(biggest(a, b, c))

Output
