DESCRIPTION

23       These functions determine the maximum numeric value of their arguments.
24       NaN arguments are treated as missing data: if one argument is a NaN and
25       the other numeric, these functions choose the numeric value.
26

RETURN VALUES

28       Upon successful completion, these functions return the maximum  numeric
29       value of their arguments.

31
32       If just one argument is a NaN, the other argument is returned.
33
34
35       If x and y are NaN, a NaN is returned.
