module max2_func(
    input  wire [7:0] a,
    input  wire [7:0] b,
    output wire [7:0] max
);

    // =================================
    // Function: max2 (DO NOT RENAME)
    // =================================
    function [7:0] max2(input [7:0] x, input [7:0] y);
        begin
            max2 = (x > y) ? x : y;   // single comparison line
        end
    endfunction

    // =================================
    // Drive output
    // =================================
    assign max = max2(a, b);
