result = max(-0.0, 0.0) print(result)

result = max(-0.0, 0.0) 
print(result)

The correct explanation is that in Python, -0.0 and 0.0 are considered equal, and the max() function does not distinguish between them based on sign. When you use max(-0.0, 0.0), the result will be the number with the higher magnitude, regardless of its sign. In this case, both -0.0 and 0.0 have the same magnitude, so the result will be the one that appears first in the arguments, which is -0.0:

result = max(-0.0, 0.0)

print(result)

Output:

-0.0

So, max(-0.0, 0.0) returns -0.0 due to the way Python handles the comparison of floating-point numbers.
