// Greatest of Two Numbers using Ternary Operator
import java.util.Scanner;

// Main class containing the entry point of the program
public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Step 1: Create a Scanner object to read user input
        Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);

        // Step 2: Prompt the user to enter the first number
        System.out.print("Enter the first number: ");
        int num1 = scanner.nextInt();

        // Step 3: Prompt the user to enter the second number
        System.out.print("Enter the second number: ");
        int num2 = scanner.nextInt();

        // Step 4: Use the ternary operator to find the greatest number
        int greatest = (num1 > num2) ? num1 : num2;

        // Step 5: Print the greatest number
        System.out.println(greatest + " is the greatest number.");

        // Step 6: Close the scanner
        scanner.close();
