But…. these are two completely different statements, the equivalent Rust is

    if a < b { b } else { a }

why are you adding sprurious returns? And if you need to get the minimum of two values so much that actually impacts you, write a `min!` macro?

No macros needed!

    use std::cmp::min;
    min(a, b);
