math-max	Math.max	math	namespace-method	Math.max	Math.max(a, b) -> int	The larger of two values.	1	Math	max

Returns whichever of a and b is larger. Like Math.min, it works for both int and fixed operands. Use it to hold a value at a floor — for example keeping a countdown at zero instead of going negative, or a health bar from dropping below the minimum. The bare form max(a, b) is kept as a convenience alias.

Parameters:

• a — the first value
• b — the second value

program Countdown {
  state CountdownState {
    timer: int = 60
  }

  handler Tick(countdown_st: mut CountdownState) phase Update {
    countdown_st.timer = Math.max(countdown_st.timer - 1, 0)   # stops at 0, never negative
  }
}
