 <P>The <SAMP>max()</SAMP> algorithm determines and returns the maximum of a pair of values. In the first case, T must satisfy the requirements of <SAMP>LessThanComparable</SAMP>. In the second case, the optional argument <SAMP>Compare</SAMP> defines a binary function object that can be used in place of the default <SAMP>operator&lt;()</SAMP>.</P>
 <P><SAMP>max()</SAMP> returns the first argument when the arguments are equal.</P>
