.. currentmodule:: warp._src.lang

.. function:: max(a: Scalar, b: Scalar) -> Scalar

   .. wp-function-tags::
      :kernel: true
      :python: true
      :differentiable: true

   Compute the maximum value.
   
   On float types, NaN is treated as missing (C ``fmax`` semantics): the
   operation returns the non-NaN operand when exactly one is NaN, and NaN
   only when both are NaN.

.. function:: max(a: Vector[Scalar, Any], b: Vector[Scalar, Any]) -> Vector[Scalar, Any]
   :noindex:

   .. wp-function-tags::
      :kernel: true
      :python: true
      :differentiable: true

   Compute the maximum value.
   
   :returns: The element-wise maximum of ``a`` and ``b``.
   

.. function:: max(a: Vector[Scalar, Any]) -> Scalar
   :noindex:

   .. wp-function-tags::
      :kernel: true
      :python: true
      :differentiable: true

   Compute the maximum value.
   
   On float types, NaN elements are treated as missing (C ``fmax`` semantics);
   the reduction returns the largest non-NaN element, or NaN only if every
   element is NaN.
   
   :returns: The maximum element of ``a``.
