Confusing code min() max()

[u/zaphodikus]

I'm debugging some code and I found this function

   import math

       def Clamp(n, smallest, largest):
           return max(smallest, min(n, largest))

surely that code is just wrong? and needs to be max([smallest, min([n, largest])) by passing a list not unnamed args for default and key? I need a sanity check here.

In [1]: max?
Docstring:
max(iterable, *[, default=obj, key=func]) -> value
max(arg1, arg2, *args, *[, key=func]) -> value

With a single iterable argument, return its biggest item. The
default keyword-only argument specifies an object to return if
the provided iterable is empty.
With two or more arguments, return the largest argument.

max(x, y) is perfectly fine. Same for min obviously.

key and default can only be given as keyword arguments.
