maximum(A,dims)

maximum(A, dims)

Compute the maximum value of an array over the given dimensions.

Examples

1. Find the maximum value in an array:

   julia> arr = [5, 10, 2, 8, 3];
   julia> maximum(arr)
   10

   This example finds the largest element in the array arr.

2. Find the maximum value in a range of numbers:

   julia> maximum(1:10)
   10

   It returns the maximum value in the range of numbers from 1 to 10.

3. Find the maximum value in a vector of strings:

   julia> words = ["apple", "banana", "orange", "grape"];
   julia> maximum(words)
   "orange"

   It returns the string with the highest lexicographic order from the vector words.

Common mistake example:

julia> maximum([])
ERROR: ArgumentError: collection must be non-empty

In this example, an empty collection is passed to maximum, which raises an ArgumentError. Ensure that the collection passed as an argument is non-empty to avoid this error.
