Maximum( obj1, obj2.. )
Maximum( list )
Maximum
returns the maximum of its arguments, i.e., that argument
obj_i for which obj_k <= obj_i for all k. In its second form
Maximum
takes a list list and returns the maximum of the elements of
this list.
Typically the arguments or elements of the list respectively will be
integers, but actually they can be objects of an arbitrary type. This
works because any two objects can be compared using the <
operator.
gap> Maximum( -123, 700, 123, 0, -1000 ); 700 gap> Maximum( [ -123, 700, 123, 0, -1000 ] ); 700 gap> Maximum( [ 1, 2 ], [ 0, 15 ], [ 1, 5 ], [ 2, -11 ] ); [ 2, -11 ] # lists are compared elementwise
