Compares two values to compute which is greater and returning the other value if an input is NaN.

public:
 static double MaxNumber(double x, double y) = System::Numerics::INumber<double>::MaxNumber;

public static double MaxNumber (double x, double y);

static member MaxNumber : double * double -> double

Public Shared Function MaxNumber (x As Double, y As Double) As Double

Parameters

x: Double

The value to compare with y.

y: Double

The value to compare with x.

Returns

Double

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

Implements

MaxNumber(TSelf, TSelf)

Remarks

For IFloatingPoint<TSelf> this method matches the IEEE 754:2019 maximumNumber 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.
