Math.Max Method (UInt64, UInt64)
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Returns the larger of two 64-bit unsigned integers.
This API is not CLS-compliant.
Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
<CLSCompliantAttribute(False)> _
Public Shared Function Max ( _
val1 As ULong, _
val2 As ULong _
) As ULong
[CLSCompliantAttribute(false)]
public static ulong Max(
ulong val1,
ulong val2
)
Parameters
- val1
Type: System.UInt64
The first of two 64-bit unsigned integers to compare.
- val2
Type: System.UInt64
The second of two 64-bit unsigned integers to compare.
Return Value
Type: System.UInt64
Parameter val1 or val2, whichever is larger.
Examples
The following example demonstrates how to use the Max method to return and display the greater of two UInt64 variables.
