## Math Max
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`Math.max()` is a function that returns the largest value from a list of numeric values passed as parameters. If a non-numeric value is passed as a parameter, `Math.max()` will return `NaN`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
An array of numeric values can be passed as a single parameter to `Math.max()` using either `spread (...)` or `apply`. Either of these methods can, however, fail when the amount of array values gets too high.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Syntax
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
Math.max(value1, value2, value3, ...);
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Parameters
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Numbers, or limited array of numbers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Return Value
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The greatest of given numeric values, or `NaN` if any given value is non-numeric.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
||
|

```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
_Array As Parameter, Using Spread(...)_
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
let numbers = [4, 13, 27, 0, -5];
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Math.max(...numbers); // returns 27
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
_Array As Parameter, Using Apply_
|
||
