;; If you were to try user=> (max [1 2 3]) [1 2 3] ;; You would get '[1 2 3]' for the result.

If you were to try (max [1 2 3]) You would get `[1 2 3]` for the result. In this case, `max` has received one vector argument, and the largest of its arguments is that single vector. If you would like to find the largest item **within** the vector, you would need to use `apply` (apply max [1 2 3]) which is the same as (max 1 2 3)
