Syntax 1
public static int max( int a, int b )
Parameters
a
an int value.
b
an int value.
Returns
the larger of a and b.

Syntax 2
public static long max( long a, long b )
Parameters
a
a long value.

Syntax 3
public static float max( float a, float b )

a float value.
b
a float value.
Returns
the larger of a and b.

Parameters
a
a double value.
b
