Int64.MaxMagnitude(Int64, Int64) Method

Definition

Namespace:

System

Assembly:

System.Runtime.dll

Source:

Int64.cs

Compares two values to compute which is greater.

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

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

static member MaxMagnitude : int64 * int64 -> int64

Public Shared Function MaxMagnitude (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

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.
