# --description--
Given a string of numbers separated by various punctuation, return the largest number.
- The given string will only contain numbers and separators.
- Separators can be commas (`","`), exclamation points (`"!"`), question marks (`"?"`), colons (`":"`), or semi-colons (`";"`).
# --hints--
`largest_number("1,2")` should return `2`.
```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(largest_number("1,2"), 2)`)
}})
```
`largest_number("4;15:60,26?52!0")` should return `60`.
```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(largest_number("4;15:60,26?52!0"), 60)`)
}})
```
`largest_number("-402,-1032!-569:-947;-633?-800!-1012;-402,-723?-8102!-3011")` should return `-402`.
```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(largest_number("-402,-1032!-569:-947;-633?-800!-1012;-402,-723?-8102!-3011"), -402)`)
}})
```
`largest_number("12;-50,99.9,49.1!-10.1?88?16")` should return `99.9`.
```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(largest_number("12;-50,99.9,49.1!-10.1?88?16"), 99.9)`)
}})
```
