Description
The v?Fmax function returns a vector with element values equal to the larger value from each pair of corresponding elements of the two vectors a and b: if ai < biv?Fmax returns bi, otherwise v?Fmax returns ai.
| Argument 1 | Argument 2 | Result | VM Error Status | Exception | 
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ai not NAN | NAN | ai | ||
| NAN | bi not NAN | bi | ||
| NAN | NAN | NAN |
