Description:
Find the maximum value among members of a sequence.
Syntax:
|
A.max(x) |
|
|
max(x1,…,xn) |
Equivalent to A.max(), where x1,…,xn are members of sequence A. |
Note:
The function computes expression x with members of sequence A and returns the maximum member value.
Parameter:
|
A |
A sequence, where members should have same data type. |
|
x |
An expression; cannot be omitted when A is a table sequence or a record sequence. |
Return value:
The maximum value
Example:
When A is a sequence:
|
|
A |
|
|
1 |
=[8,-6,1,3,5].max() |
8. |
|
2 |
=["c","b",null,"e","A"].max() |
"e". |
|
3 |
=["a",1].max() |
Error is reported as members of the sequence have inconsistent data types. |
|
4 |
=[8,-6,1,3,5].max(~*10) |
80; return the maximum member value after expression is computed. |
|
5 |
=max(8,-6,1,3,5) |
8, which is same as A1. |
When A is a table sequence or a record sequence:
|
|
A |
|
|
1 |
=demo.query("select EID,NAME,SALARY from EMPLOYEE").sort(SALARY:-1) |
Query content of EMPLOYEE table and sort result by SALARY in descending order. |
|
2 |
=A1.max(SALARY+1000) |
Get the highest SALARY value after salary is increased by 1000 and return 17,000. |
