===== MAX ✓ =====

===== SYNTAX =====
     = MAX(#const1,#const2)
     = MAX(val1,val2)
     = MAX(string1,string2)

==== PURPOSE ====


The ''MAX'' function allows you to identify the greater of two values. If both terms 
are (numeric) constants, the evaluation is carried out at the time of compilation. Otherwise, the 
value is calculated at runtime. 

Where the data types are not identical, ugBASIC "promotes" the second term to the type 
of the first term. If the conversion is not possible, a specific error will be issued. 
The comparison of heterogeneous types is, in effect, a comparison of implicitly 
promoted types. In particular, static strings are always promoted to dynamic strings.



==== EXAMPLE ====
    result = MAX( a, b )
