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.
