The JavaScript Math max() Method is used to return the largest of zero or more numbers. The result is “-Infinity” if no arguments are passed and the result is NaN if at least one of the arguments cannot be converted to a number.
The max() is a static method of Math, therefore, it is always used as Math.max(), rather than as a method of a Math object created.
Syntax:
Math.max(value1, value2, ...)
Parameters: This method accepts a single parameter that can be used n number of times as mentioned above and described below:
- value: These values are sent to math.max() method for finding the largest.
Return values: The Math.max() method returns the largest of the given numbers.
Example 1: Below is an example of the Math max() method.
javascript
console.log("When positive numbers are passed" + " as parameters: " + Math.max(10, 32, 2)); |
Output:
When positive numbers are passed as parameters: 32
Example 2: When negative numbers are passed as parameters.
javascript
console.log("Result : " + Math.max(-10, -32, -1)); |
Output:
Result : -1
Example 3: When no parameters are passed.
javascript
console.log("Result : " + Math.max()); |
Output:
Result : -Infinity
Example 4: When NaN is passed as a parameter.
javascript
console.log("Result : " + Math.max(10,2,NaN)); |
Output:
Result : NaN
