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.
