max
max(x, y, ...)
Return the maximum of the arguments. Operates elementwise over arrays.
Examples
-
Find the maximum of two numbers:
julia> max(5, 10) 10 -
Find the maximum of multiple numbers:
julia> max(2, 4, 6, 8) 8 -
Find the maximum among array elements:
julia> arr = [5, 2, 9, 1, 7]; julia> max(arr...) 9 -
Find the maximum of elements in multiple arrays:
julia> arr1 = [2, 4, 6]; julia> arr2 = [1, 8, 3]; julia> max(arr1..., arr2...) 8 - Find the maximum of a matrix along a specific axis:
julia> matrix = [1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 9]; julia> max(matrix, dims=1) 1×3 Array{Int64,2}: 7 8 9
Common mistake example:
julia> max([1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6, 7])
ERROR: DimensionMismatch("arrays could not be broadcast to a common size")In this example, the arrays have different lengths, causing a DimensionMismatch error when trying to find the maximum. Ensure that the arrays being compared have the same dimensions or are compatible for elementwise comparison.
