Max
Function
Gives the maximum of two integer values Math unit
 function Max ( const A, B : Integer|Int64|Single|Double|Extended ) : Integer|Int64|Single|Double|Extended;
Description
The Max function returns the value of higher of two numeric arguments, A and B.
 
These arguments may be any of the given numeric types, in any mixture. The result will be normalised to the appropriate value - floating point if either argument is floating point.

Example code : Illustrate integer use of Max
var
  int1, int2, int3 : Integer;
begin
  int1 := 37;
  int2 := 38;
  int3 := Max(int1, int2);

  ShowMessage('int1 = '+IntToStr(int1));
  ShowMessage('int2 = '+IntToStr(int2));
  ShowMessage('Max(int1, int2) = '+IntToStr(int3));
end;
