The output from the preceding example with the default values is:
| Name | Type | Value |
|---|---|---|
| intResult | Int | 4 |
max
max(arg1)
Returns the maximum value from an array of integers or a comma-separated list of integers.
Namespace: sys.
Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| arg1 | Yes | array of integers, or comma-separated list of integers | The collection to get the maximum value. |
Return value
An integer representing the maximum value from the collection.
Example
The following example shows how to use max with an array and a list of integers:
param arrayToTest array = [
0
3
2
5
4
]
output arrayOutPut int = max(arrayToTest)
output intOutput int = max(0,3,2,5,4)
The output from the preceding example with the default values is:
| Name | Type | Value |
|---|---|---|
| arrayOutput | Int | 5 |
| intOutput | Int | 5 |
min
min(arg1)
Returns the minimum value from an array of integers or a comma-separated list of integers.
Namespace: sys.
Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| arg1 | Yes | array of integers, or comma-separated list of integers | The collection to get the minimum value. |
Return value
An integer representing minimum value from the collection.
Example
The following example shows how to use min with an array and a list of integers:
param arrayToTest array = [
0
3
2
5
4
]
output arrayOutPut int = min(arrayToTest)
output intOutput int = min(0,3,2,5,4)
The output from the preceding example with the default values is:
| Name | Type | Value |
|---|---|---|
| arrayOutput | Int | 0 |
