Why does min() works in Xcode, but not max ()?

I am writing a C++ program using Xcode, and I need to find the max and min of two numbers. I decided to use the built-in max and min functions of C++.

When I do :

float result = min(x1,x2); // x1, x2 are floats

Xcode recognises min just fine.

But when I do:

float result = max(x1,x2); // x1, x2 are floats

Xcode complains with the error:

No matching function for call to 'max'

If I COMMAND + Click on either max or min, the Xcode quickly takes me to the function definitions, so clearly Xcode knows they are both there.

How do I get max to work ?

EDIT: I have tried calling std::max, but I get the same error.

This type of error occur generally when your parameters that you are passing to min or max function is not of same type.

Make sure to check the parameter type of both parameters.
