Int64.MaxMagnitude(Int64, Int64) Method

Definition

Compares two values to compute which is greater.

public:
 static long MaxMagnitude(long x, long y) = System::Numerics::INumberBase<long>::MaxMagnitude;
public static long MaxMagnitude (long x, long y);
static member MaxMagnitude : int64 * int64 -> int64
Public Shared Function MaxMagnitude (x As Long, y As Long) As Long

Parameters

x
Int64

The value to compare with y.

y
Int64

The value to compare with x.

Returns

x if it is greater than y; otherwise, y.

Remarks

For IFloatingPointIeee754<TSelf> this method matches the IEEE 754:2019 maximumMagnitude function. This requires NaN inputs to not be propagated back to the caller and for -0.0 to be treated as less than +0.0.
