Why I can't use min() or max() ?

#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>

using namespace std;

int main () {
cout << "min(1,2)==" << min(1,2) << endl;
cout << "min(2,1)==" << min(2,1) << endl;
cout << "min('a','z')==" << min('a','z') << endl;
cout << "min(3.14,2.72)==" << min(3.14,2.72) << endl;

cout << "max(1,2)==" << max(1,2) << endl;
cout << "max(2,1)==" << max(2,1) << endl;
cout << "max('a','z')==" << max('a','z') << endl;
cout << "max(3.14,2.72)==" << max(3.14,2.72) << endl;

return 0;
} // main()

Because they are not in VC6 "algorithm" ?
