句法

Math.max([value1[, value2[, ...]]])
					

参数

value1, value2, ...

Numbers.

返回值

The largest of the given numbers. If at least one of the arguments cannot be converted to a number, NaN 被返回。

描述

因为 Math is not a constructor, max() is a static method of Math (You always use it as Math.max() , rather than as a method of an instanced Math 对象)。

- Infinity is the initial comparant because almost every other value is bigger, that's why when no arguments are given, - Infinity 被返回。

If at least one of arguments cannot be converted to a number, the result is NaN .

范例

使用 Math.max()

Math.max(10, 20);   //  20
Math.max(-10, -20); // -10
Math.max(-10, 20);  //  20
					

Getting the maximum element of an array

Array.reduce() can be used to find the maximum element in a numeric array, by comparing each value:

var arr = [1,2,3];
var max = arr.reduce(function(a, b) {
    return Math.max(a, b);
});
					

The following function uses Function.prototype.apply() to get the maximum of an array. getMaxOfArray([1, 2, 3]) 相当于 Math.max(1, 2, 3) , but you can use getMaxOfArray() on programmatically constructed arrays. This should only be used for arrays with relatively few elements.

function getMaxOfArray(numArray) {
  return Math.max.apply(null, numArray);
}
					

The new spread operator is a shorter way of writing the apply solution to get the maximum of an array:

var arr = [1, 2, 3];
var max = Math.max(...arr);
					

However, both spread ( ... ) and apply will either fail or return the wrong result if the array has too many elements, because they try to pass the array elements as function parameters. See 使用 apply and built-in functions for more details. The reduce solution does not have this problem.
