Definition

Namespace:

System

Assembly:

System.Runtime.dll

Source:

Int16.cs

Compares two values to compute which is greater.

public:
 static short MaxMagnitude(short x, short y) = System::Numerics::INumberBase<short>::MaxMagnitude;

public static short MaxMagnitude (short x, short y);

static member MaxMagnitude : int16 * int16 -> int16

Public Shared Function MaxMagnitude (x As Short, y As Short) As Short

Parameters

x

Int16

The value to compare with y.

y

Int16

The value to compare with x.

Returns

Int16

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

Implements

MaxMagnitude(TSelf, TSelf)

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.
