Syntax

c = max(a)

c = max(a, b)

[c, d] = max(a)

Description

Determines the largest input element. If an element is complex, LabVIEW considers only its magnitude.

Examples

Inputs

Name	Description
a	Specifies a vector or matrix.
b	Specifies a vector or matrix of the same size as a.

Outputs

Name	Description
c	Returns the largest element in a if a is a vector. If a is a matrix, c returns a row vector of the largest elements in each column of a. If you specify b, c returns the largest of the corresponding elements of a and b. c is a scalar or vector.
d	Specifies the indexes in a of the largest elements. d is a scalar or vector.

Examples

A = rand(3, 3)
C = max(A)
