MAX

Finds the largest number in a list of numbers or an array

Syntax

MAX number_1, number_2 [, ...] OUT maximum
MAX array[] OUT maximum

Parameter	Description
number_1, number_2, …	List of numbers to find the maximum of. Must have at least 2 numbers
array[]	Number array to find the maximum of. Length must not be 0
Output	Description
maximum	The maximum of the list/array. Will always be a float, unless you passed an integer array or 2 integers. If the maximum value occurs multiple times in the list, `MAX` returns the first occurrence.

PRINT MAX(7,4,8) '8
DIM A[3]
A[0]=7
A[1]=4
A[2]=8
PRINT MAX(A) '8

Error	Cause
Type mismatch	The list of numbers has fewer than 2 items, or a value which isn’t a number, or a string array was used.
Illegal function call	0 arguments were passed, or the number of outputs was not 1, or an array with a length of 0 was used.

No longer allows arrays with 0 elements ¹

Now treats NaN properly (MAX returns NaN if any of the inputs are NaN) ²
