Command: max

Name:
max - return the greater of two values
Synopsis:
val1 val2 max -> result
Description:
This function returns the greater of two values, by removing the other one from the stack. Hence, the output type is the same as the respective input type (integer or double). Alternatives: Functions max_i_i, max_i_d, max_d_i, max_d_d (all undocumented), where i is standing for integer and for double as arguments -> behaviour and synopsis are the same.
Parameters:
val1, val2: numeric values (integer or double) result : the greater of the two values (keeping its type, integer or double)
Examples:
1 2 max -> 2 1 2.0 max -> 2.0 1.0 2 max -> 2
