Enumerable.Max Method (IEnumerable<Single>)

Silverlight

Returns the maximum value in a sequence of Single values.

Namespace: System.Linq
Assembly: System.Core (in System.Core.dll)

public static float Max(
	this IEnumerable<float> source
)

Parameters

source: Type: System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<Single>
A sequence of Single values to determine the maximum value of.

Return Value

Type: System.Single
The maximum value in the sequence.

Usage Note

In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type IEnumerable<Single>. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	source is null.
InvalidOperationException	source contains no elements.

Remarks

The Max(IEnumerable<Single>) method uses the Single implementation of IComparable<T> to compare values.

In Visual Basic query expression syntax, an Aggregate Into Max() clause translates to an invocation of Max.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use Max(IEnumerable<Int64>) to determine the maximum value in a sequence.

Note:
This code example uses an overload of this overloaded method that is different from the specific overload that this topic describes. To extend the example to this topic, substitute the elements of the source sequence with elements of the appropriate numerical type.


      List<long> longs = new List<long> { 4294967296L, 466855135L, 81125L };

      long max = longs.Max();

      outputBlock.Text += String.Format("The largest number is {0}.", max) + "\n";

      /*
       This code produces the following output:

       The largest number is 4294967296.
      */
