max
Syntax: #include <algorithm> const TYPE& max( const TYPE& x, const TYPE& y ); const TYPE& max( const TYPE& x, const TYPE& y, BinPred p ); The max() function returns the greater of x and y. If the binary predicate p is given, then it will be used instead of the < operator to compare the two elements. Example code:
For example, the following code snippet displays various uses of the max() function: cout << "Max of 1 and 9999 is " << max( 1, 9999) << endl; cout << "Max of 'a' and 'b' is " << max( 'a', 'b') << endl; cout << "Max of 3.14159 and 2.71828 is " << max( 3.14159, 2.71828) << endl; When run, this code displays: Max of 1 and 9999 is 9999 Max of 'a' and 'b' is b Max of 3.14159 and 2.71828 is 3.14159 Related topics:
