{{alias}}( [x[, y[, ...args]]] )
Returns the maximum value.
If any argument is `NaN`, the function returns `NaN`.
When an empty set is considered a subset of the extended reals (all real
numbers, including positive and negative infinity), negative infinity is the
least upper bound. Similar to zero being the identity element for the sum of
an empty set and to one being the identity element for the product of an
empty set, negative infinity is the identity element for the maximum, and
thus, if not provided any arguments, the function returns negative infinity.
Parameters
----------
x: number (optional)

y: number (optional)

Numbers.
Returns
