1. develop an algorithm which reads two decimal numbers x and y and determines and prints out wether x>y or y>x. the input values, x and y, are whole number > or equal to 0, which are input by a single read, i.e. they cannot be read or "looked at" digit by digit. The two input values are guaranteed not to be equal to one another. for this question its is not possible to compare two numbers directly, however, comparison of two digits is allowed. you are allowed to use of all basic arithmetic operations. As well, n named sub-algorithm called Power (a,b), when invoked returns a^b, can be used.
