fmax() [9/10]

var stan::math::fmax ( const var &  a, double  b  )

For fmax(a, b), if a's value is greater than b, then a is returned, otherwise a fresh variable implementation wrapping the value b is returned.

Parameters

a	First variable.
b	Second value

Returns

If the first variable's value is larger than or equal to the second value, the first variable, otherwise the second value promoted to a fresh variable.
