# tensorplay.functional.maximum

Source: https://www.tensorplay.cn/docs/generated/tensorplay.functional.maximum.html

```python
tensorplay.functional.maximum(input, other, *, out=None) → Tensor
```

Computes the element-wise maximum of input and other.

> **Note**
>
> If one of the elements being compared is a NaN, then that element is returned. maximum() is not supported for tensors with complex dtypes.

Parameters:

- input ([Tensor](/docs/generated/tensorplay.Tensor.html#tensorplay.Tensor)) – the input tensor.

- other ([Tensor](/docs/generated/tensorplay.Tensor.html#tensorplay.Tensor)) – the second input tensor

Keyword Arguments:

out ([Tensor](/docs/generated/tensorplay.Tensor.html#tensorplay.Tensor), optional) – the output tensor.

Example:

```
>>> a = tensorplay.tensor((1, 2, -1))
>>> b = tensorplay.tensor((3, 0, 4))
>>> tensorplay.maximum(a, b)
tensor([3, 2, 4])
```
