Math.Max Method (Double, Double)
[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
Returns the larger of two double-precision floating-point numbers.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Parameters
- val1
- Type: System.Double
The first of two double-precision floating-point numbers to compare.
- val2
- Type: System.Double
The second of two double-precision floating-point numbers to compare.
Return Value
Type: System.DoubleParameter val1 or val2, whichever is larger. If val1, 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 Double variables.
