MAX(A1, A2, A3, ...)#

Returns the argument with the largest (most positive) value.

Parameters

A1 – The type shall be INTEGER or REAL.
A2}, {A3}, ... – An expression of the same type and kind as A1. (As a GNU extension, arguments of different kinds are permitted.)

Returns

The return value corresponds to the maximum value among the arguments, and has the same type and kind as the first argument.
