Math.max(n1, n2, ..., nX)
Category:Math
Some apps need to know the maximum number from a collection of numbers or variables. You can call Math.max with zero, one or more parameters, depending on how many numbers you want to compare.
Examples
Example: Typical Usage
var a = Math.max(5,-2);
console.log(a);
var x=9;
var y=12;
var b = Math.max(x,y);
console.log(b);
Example: Using more than two values
var a = Math.max(5, 0, 21.5, 13, -2);
console.log(a);
Syntax
Math.max(n1, n2,..., nX);
