Add max and min math functions

CHANGELOG.rst

@@ -26,6 +26,7 @@ Interactive improvements
 - Fish now automatically creates ``config.fish`` and the configuration directories in ``$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fish`` (by default ``~/.config/fish``) if they do not already exist.
 - ``__fish_prepend_sudo`` now toggles sudo even when it took the commandline from history instead of only adding it.
 - Fish now defaults job-control to "full" meaning it more sensibly handles assigning the terminal and process groups (:issue:`5036`, :issue:`5832`, :issue:`7721`)
+- ``math`` learned two new functions, ``max`` and ``min`.

 - ``ln`` - the base-e logarithm
 - ``log`` or ``log10`` - the base-10 logarithm
 - ``log2`` - the base-2 logarithm
+- ``max`` - returns the larger of two numbers
+- ``min`` - returns the smaller of two numbers
 - ``ncr`` - "from n choose r" combination function - how many subsets of size r can be taken from n (order doesn't matter)
 - ``npr`` - the number of subsets of size r that can be taken from a set of n elements (including different order)
 - ``pow(x,y)`` returns x to the y (and can be written as ``x ^ y``)
