grammar

 max ( x , y )

parameter	describe
x	Required. A number.
y	Required. A number.

illustrate

max() returns the maximum value in the parameter.

If there is only one parameter and is an array, max() returns the largest value in the array. If the first parameter is an integer, string, or floating point number, at least two parameters are required and max() returns the largest of these values. An infinite number of values can be compared.
