consider-using-max-builtin / R1731

Message emitted:

Consider using '%s' instead of unnecessary if block

Description:

Using the max builtin instead of a conditional improves readability and conciseness.

Problematic code:

def get_max(value1, value2):
    if value1 < value2:  # [consider-using-max-builtin]
        value1 = value2
    return value1


print(get_max(1, 2))

Correct code:

print(max(1, 2))
