Max11 is all my code. Why doesn't it work????🤔

I use 8, but only when I'm operating on unsigned longs.

Yoink.

Actually I've probably been all of these at various times in my career.

I'm mostly lost and in over my head

here’s another mathematical approach (that has the added benefit of only working when x and y are both positive).

let f denote the linear functional on ℝ^2^ defined by f(1,0) = x and f(0,1) = y (and extend by linearity). then the operator norm || f || is equal to max(x,y).

Why use const max = (x, y) => x > y ? x : y instead of function max(x, y) { return x > y ? x : y } ?

2, but I'm incredibly embarrassed to say that I've had to do 9 before

my $max = $x > $y ? $x : $y;
