Math.Max Method (Single, Single)
.NET Framework 3.0
Returns the larger of two single-precision floating-point numbers.
Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
public static float Max ( float val1, float val2 )
public static function Max ( val1 : float, val2 : float ) : float
Not applicable.
Parameters
- val1
The first of two single-precision floating-point numbers to compare.
- val2
The second of two single-precision floating-point numbers to compare.
Return Value
Parameter val1 or val2, whichever is larger. If val1, or val2, or both val1 and val2 are equal to NaN, NaN is returned.The following example demonstrates how to use the Max method to return and display the greater of two Single variables.
