BigInteger.Max Method
.NET Framework 4.5
Returns the larger of two BigInteger values.
Namespace: System.Numerics
Assembly: System.Numerics (in System.Numerics.dll)
Parameters
- left
- Type: System.Numerics.BigInteger
The first value to compare.
- right
- Type: System.Numerics.BigInteger
The second value to compare.
The following example uses the Max method to select the largest number in an array of BigInteger values.
using System; using System.Numerics; public class Example { public static void Main() { BigInteger[] numbers = { Int64.MaxValue * BigInteger.MinusOne, BigInteger.MinusOne, 10359321239000, BigInteger.Pow(103988, 2), BigInteger.Multiply(Int32.MaxValue, Int16.MaxValue), BigInteger.Add(BigInteger.Pow(Int64.MaxValue, 2), BigInteger.Pow(Int32.MaxValue, 2)) }; if (numbers.Length < 2) { Console.WriteLine("Cannot determine which is the larger of {0} numbers.", numbers.Length); return; } BigInteger largest = numbers[numbers.GetLowerBound(0)]; for (int ctr = numbers.GetLowerBound(0) + 1; ctr <= numbers.GetUpperBound(0); ctr++) largest = BigInteger.Max(largest, numbers[ctr]); Console.WriteLine("The values:"); foreach (BigInteger number in numbers) Console.WriteLine("{0,55:N0}", number); Console.WriteLine("\nThe largest number of the series is:"); Console.WriteLine(" {0:N0}", largest); } } // The example displays the following output: // The values: // -9,223,372,036,854,775,807 // -1 // 10,359,321,239,000 // 10,813,504,144 // 70,366,596,661,249 // 85,070,591,730,234,615,852,008,593,798,364,921,858 // // The largest number of the series is: // 85,070,591,730,234,615,852,008,593,798,364,921,858
