STANDARDS

     Fortran extension:  QMAX1, QMIN1

DESCRIPTION
     The MAX, MAX0, AMAX1, DMAX1, QMAX1, MAX1, and AMAX0 intrinsic
     functions determine maximum values.  MAX is the generic name; the
     others are specifics.

     The MIN, MIN0, AMIN1, DMIN1, QMIN1, MIN1, and AMIN0 intrinsic
     functions find minimum values.  MIN is the generic name; the others
     are specifics.

     They accept the following arguments:

     a1, a2, a3, ...
          The arguments must be all of type real or all of type integer.
          All arguments must have the same data type.

          The kind types of the arguments can differ.  This is an extension
          to the Fortran standard.

     These are elemental intrinsic functions.  The names of these
     intrinsics cannot be passed as arguments.

RETURN VALUES
     For the MAX routines, the value of the result is that of the largest
     argument.

     For the MIN routines, the value of the result is that of the smallest
     argument.

     MAX and MIN accept type real or integer and return a result with the
     same type and kind type as its arguments.

     MAX0 and MIN0 accept and return type integer.

     AMAX1 and AMIN1 accept and return type single-precision real.

     DMAX1 and DMIN1 accept and return type double-precision real.

     QMAX1 and QMIN1 accept and return type quad-precision real.

     MAX1 and MIN1 accept type real and return type default integer.

     AMAX0 and AMIN0 accept type integer and return type default real.

     The terms single precision, double precision, and quad precision
     differ depending on your platform.  For platform-specific information,
     see the TERMINOLOGY section of the INTRO_INTRIN(3I) man page.

EXAMPLES
     MAX(-9.0,7.0,2.0) yields 7.0.

     MIN(-9.0,7.0,2.0) yields -9.0.
