Definition

Namespace:

System

Assembly:

System.Runtime.dll

Source:

Int64.cs

Compares two values to compute which is greater.

public:
 static long Max(long x, long y) = System::Numerics::INumber<long>::Max;

public static long Max (long x, long y);

static member Max : int64 * int64 -> int64

Public Shared Function Max (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

Int64

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

Implements

Max(TSelf, TSelf)

Remarks

For IFloatingPoint<TSelf> this method matches the IEEE 754:2019 maximum function. This requires NaN inputs to be propagated back to the caller and for -0.0 to be treated as less than +0.0.
