Explain this snippet which finds the maximum of tw

Question

Find the maximum of two numbers. You should not use if-else or any other comparison operator. I found this question on online bulletin board, so i thought i should ask in StackOverflow

EXAMPLE Input: 5, 10 Output: 10

I found this solution, can someone help me understand these lines of code

int getMax(int a, int b) {  
    int c = a - b;  
    int k = (c >> 31) & 0x1;  
    int max = a - k * c;  
    return max;  
}

#include<stdio.h>
main()
{
        int num1,num2,diff;
        printf("Enter number 1 : ");
        scanf("%d",&num1);
        printf("Enter number 2 : ");
        scanf("%d",&num2);
        diff=num1-num2;
        num1=abs(diff);
        num2=num1+diff;
        if(num1==num2)
                printf("Both number are equal\n");
        else if(num2==0)
                printf("Num2 > Num1\n");
        else
                printf("Num1 > Num2\n");
}
