Mathematically Find Max Value without Conditional Comparison

$$ max = \frac{(a+b)+|a-b|}{2} $$

max = ((a+b)+|a-b|)/2;

int abs (a) { return (int)((unsigned int)a); }
int max (a, b) { return (a + b + abs(a - b)) / 2; }

int max3 (a, b, c) { return (max(max(a,b),c); }

function Min(x,y:integer):integer;
  Var
   d:integer;
   abs:integer;
 begin
  d:=x-y;
  abs:=d*(1-2*((3*d) div (3*d+1)));
  Result:=(x+y-abs) div 2;
 end;
