The following example demonstrates how to use the Max method to return and display the greater of two variables.
// This example demonstrates Math.Max() using System; class Sample { public static void Main() { string str = "{0}: The greater of {1,3} and {2,3} is {3}."; string nl = Environment.NewLine; byte xByte1 = 1, xByte2 = 51; short xShort1 = -2, xShort2 = 52; int xInt1 = -3, xInt2 = 53; long xLong1 = -4, xLong2 = 54; float xSingle1 = 5.0f, xSingle2 = 55.0f; double xDouble1 = 6.0, xDouble2 = 56.0; Decimal xDecimal1 = 7m, xDecimal2 = 57m; // The following types are not CLS-compliant. sbyte xSbyte1 = 101, xSbyte2 = 111; ushort xUshort1 = 102, xUshort2 = 112; uint xUint1 = 103, xUint2 = 113; ulong xUlong1 = 104, xUlong2 = 114; Console.WriteLine("{0}Display the greater of two values:{0}", nl); Console.WriteLine(str, "Byte ", xByte1, xByte2, Math.Max(xByte1, xByte2)); Console.WriteLine(str, "Int16 ", xShort1, xShort2, Math.Max(xShort1, xShort2)); Console.WriteLine(str, "Int32 ", xInt1, xInt2, Math.Max(xInt1, xInt2)); Console.WriteLine(str, "Int64 ", xLong1, xLong2, Math.Max(xLong1, xLong2)); Console.WriteLine(str, "Single ", xSingle1, xSingle2, Math.Max(xSingle1, xSingle2)); Console.WriteLine(str, "Double ", xDouble1, xDouble2, Math.Max(xDouble1, xDouble2)); Console.WriteLine(str, "Decimal", xDecimal1, xDecimal2, Math.Max(xDecimal1, xDecimal2)); // Console.WriteLine("{0}The following types are not CLS-compliant.{0}", nl); Console.WriteLine(str, "SByte ", xSbyte1, xSbyte2, Math.Max(xSbyte1, xSbyte2)); Console.WriteLine(str, "UInt16 ", xUshort1, xUshort2, Math.Max(xUshort1, xUshort2)); Console.WriteLine(str, "UInt32 ", xUint1, xUint2, Math.Max(xUint1, xUint2)); Console.WriteLine(str, "UInt64 ", xUlong1, xUlong2, Math.Max(xUlong1, xUlong2)); } } /* This example produces the following results: Display the greater of two values: Byte : The greater of 1 and 51 is 51. Int16 : The greater of -2 and 52 is 52. Int32 : The greater of -3 and 53 is 53. Int64 : The greater of -4 and 54 is 54. Single : The greater of 5 and 55 is 55. Double : The greater of 6 and 56 is 56. Decimal: The greater of 7 and 57 is 57. (The following types are not CLS-compliant.) SByte : The greater of 101 and 111 is 111. UInt16 : The greater of 102 and 112 is 112. UInt32 : The greater of 103 and 113 is 113. UInt64 : The greater of 104 and 114 is 114. */
