Array.maxBy<'T,'U> Function (F#)

Returns the greatest of all elements of the array, compared by using Operators.max on the function result.

Namespace/Module Path: Microsoft.FSharp.Collections.Array

Assembly: FSharp.Core (in FSharp.Core.dll)

Syntax

// Signature:
Array.maxBy : ('T -> 'U) -> 'T [] -> 'T (requires comparison)

// Usage:
Array.maxBy projection array

Parameters

projection Type: 'T -> 'U

The function to transform the elements into a type supporting comparison.

array Type: 'T[]

The input array.

Return Value

Returns the maximum element.

Remarks

This function is named MaxBy in compiled assemblies. If you are accessing the function from a language other than F#, or through reflection, use this name.
Ties are resolved by returning the element with the lowest ordinal.

Example

The following code example demonstrates the use of Array.maxBy.


[| -10.0 .. 10.0 |]
|> Array.maxBy (fun x -> 1.0 - x * x)
|> printfn "%A"

Output

0.0

Platforms
