Math.max()

The Math.max() function returns the largest of the numbers given as input parameters, or -Infinity if there are no parameters.

Syntax​

Math.max()
Math.max(value0)
Math.max(value0, value1)
Math.max(value0, value1, /* … ,*/ valueN)

Parameters​

  • value1, value2, … , valueN
    • : Zero or more numbers among which the largest value will be selected and returned.

Return value​

The largest of the given numbers. Returns NaN if any of the parameters is or is converted into NaN. Returns -Infinity if no parameters are provided.

Description​

Because max() is a static method of Math, you always use it as Math.max(), rather than as a method of a Math object you created (Math is not a constructor).

Math.max.length is 2, which weakly signals that it's designed to handle at least two parameters.
