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.

Standard:

Fortran 77 and later

Class:

Elemental function

Syntax:

RESULT = MAX(A1, A2 [, A3 [, ...]])
