MAX(3F-SysV)        RISC/os Reference Manual         MAX(3F-SysV)



NAME
     max, max0, amax0, max1, amax1, dmax1 - Fortran maximum-value
     functions

SYNOPSIS
     integer i, j, k, l
     real a, b, c, d
     double precision dp1, dp2, dp3

     l = max(i, j, k)
     c = max(a, b)
     dp = max(a, b, c)
     k = max0(i, j)
     a = amax0(i, j, k)
     i = max1(a, b)
     d = amax1(a, b, c)
     dp3 = dmax1(dp1, dp2)

DESCRIPTION
     The maximum-value functions return the largest of their
     arguments (of which there may be any number).  max is the
     generic form which can be used for all data types and takes
     its return type from that of its arguments (which must all
     be of the same type).  max0 returns the integer form of the
     maximum value of its integer arguments; amax0, the real form
     of its integer arguments; max1, the integer form of its real
     arguments; amax1, the real form of its real arguments; and
     dmax1, the double-precision form of its double-precision
     arguments.
