NAME

       max,_min - Returns the greater or lesser of x or y.

       gentype max(gentype x, gentype y);

       gentype max(gentype x, sgentype y);

       gentype min(gentype x, gentype y);

       gentype min(gentype x, sgentype y);

DESCRIPTION

       max returns the greater of x or y.

       min returns the lesser of x or y.

NOTES

       Built-in integer functions take scalar or vector arguments. The vector versions of the integer functions
       operate component-wise. The description is per component.

       We use the generic type name gentype to indicate that the function can take char, char{2|3|4|8|16},
       uchar, uchar{2|3|4|8|16}, short, short{2|3|4|8|16}, ushort, ushort{2|3|4|8|16}, int, int{2|3|4|8|16},
       uint, uint{2|3|4|8|16}, long, long{2|3|4|8|16}, ulong, or ulong{2|3|4|8|16} as the type for the
       arguments. We use the generic type name ugentype to refer to unsigned versions of gentype. For example,
       if gentype is char4, ugentype is uchar4.

       We also use the generic type name sgentype to indicate that the function can take a scalar data type i.e.
       char, uchar, short, ushort, int, uint, long, or ulong as the type for the arguments. For built-in integer
       functions that take gentype and sgentype arguments, the gentype argument must be a vector or scalar
       version of the sgentype argument. For example, if sgentype is uchar, gentype must be uchar or
       uchar{2|3|4|8|16}. For vector versions, sgentype is implicitly widened to gentype as described in section
       6.3.a of the OpenCL specification.

       For any specific use of a function, the actual type has to be the same for all arguments and the return
       type unless otherwise specified.
