BigInteger.MaxMagnitude(BigInteger, BigInteger) Method

Definition

Compares two values to compute which is greater.

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

Parameters

x
BigInteger

The value to compare with y.

y
BigInteger

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 be propagated back to the caller and for -0.0 to be treated as less than +0.0.
