Comparing numbers

There are three comparison type functions. Two functions return the min and max of a pair of numbers, and the ult function treats both arguments as unsigned integers.

• math.max(x, y) returns the smaller number of x or y
• math.min(x, y) returns the larger number of x or y
• math.ult(x, y) returns true if x is less than y, where both x and y are treated as unsigned integers
