NAME

max, max0, amax0, max1, amax1, dmax1, jmax0, imax0, ajmax0, aimax0, jmax1, imax1 − Fortran maximum-value functions

SYNOPSIS

integer i, j, k, l
integer∗2 i2, j2, k2, l2
real a, b, c, d
double precision dp1, dp2, dp3

l = max(i, j, k)
l = max0(i, j, k)
l = jmax0(i, j, k)
i = max1(a, b)
i = jmax1(a,b)

l2 = max(i2, j2, k2)
l2 = imax0(i2, j2, k2)
l2 = max0(i2, j2, k2)
l2 = imax1(a,b)

c = max(a, b)
d = max(a, b, c)
d = amax1(a, b, c)
a = amax0(i, j, k)
a = ajmax0(i, j, k)
a = amax0(i2, j2, k2)
a = aimax0(i2, j2, k2)

dp3 = dmax1(dp1, dp2)

DESCRIPTION

The maximum-value functions return the largest of their arguments (of which there may be any number greater than one).  max is the generic form which can be used for all data types and takes its return type from that of its arguments (which must all be of the same type).  max0 returns the integer form of the maximum value of its integer arguments; amax0 the real form of its integer arguments; max1 the integer form of its real arguments; amax1 the real form of its real arguments; and dmax1 the double-precision form of its double-precision arguments. 

The functions jmax, jmax1, imax0, imax1, ajmax0 and aimax0 have been included to provide compatibility with other vendors and are not recommended for general use.
