Enumerable.Max Method (IEnumerable<Int64>)
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Returns the maximum value in a sequence of Int64 values.
Namespace: System.Linq
Assembly: System.Core (in System.Core.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
<ExtensionAttribute> _
Public Shared Function Max ( _
source As IEnumerable(Of Long) _
) As Long
public static long Max(
this IEnumerable<long> source
)
Parameters
- source
Type: System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<Int64>
A sequence of Int64 values to determine the maximum value of.
Return Value
Type: System.Int64
The maximum value in the sequence.
Usage Note
In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type IEnumerable<Int64>. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter.
Exceptions
Exception | Condition |
---|---|
ArgumentNullException | source is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic). |
InvalidOperationException | source contains no elements. |
Remarks
The Max(IEnumerable<Int64>) method uses the Int64 implementation of IComparable<T> to compare values.
In Visual Basic query expression syntax, an Aggregate Into Max() clause translates to an invocation of Max.
Examples
The following code example demonstrates how to use Max(IEnumerable<Int64>) to determine the maximum value in a sequence.
' Create a list of Long values.
Dim longs As New List(Of Long)(New Long() _
{4294967296L, 466855135L, 81125L})
' Get the maximum value in the list.
Dim max As Long = longs.Max()
' Display the result.
outputBlock.Text &= "The largest number is " & max & vbCrLf
' This code produces the following output:
'
' The largest number is 4294967296
List<long> longs = new List<long> { 4294967296L, 466855135L, 81125L };
long max = longs.Max();
outputBlock.Text += String.Format("The largest number is {0}.", max) + "\n";
/*
This code produces the following output:
The largest number is 4294967296.
