If you’ve ever had to deal with various errors or to filter out something and return the appropriate output, it is much more concise. Read past the if’s and you have the main logic of that function. But that max function should have an else statement since it's part of the logic. Less code doesn't always make it more concise. If there's a more complicated logic, then it'd actually be harder to understand at a glance.
