José has just learned the basic arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division). Since he is quite good at it, his friend Óscar, who is playing a new video game he bought, asks José for help with his homework. The teacher gives him two positive integers $$$a$$$ and $$$b$$$ and asks him to apply one of the $$$4$$$ mentioned operations to obtain the highest possible result. In other words, he is asked to find the maximum value of $$$a?b$$$, where $$$?$$$ can be addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.
You are given two integers $$$a$$$ and $$$b$$$. $$$(1 \leq a, b \leq 100)$$$.
You have to print a number, the maximum value after applying an operation to $$$a$$$ and $$$b$$$.
