public:
 static float MaxNumber(float x, float y) = System::Numerics::INumber<float>::MaxNumber;

public static float MaxNumber (float x, float y);

static member MaxNumber : single * single -> single

Public Shared Function MaxNumber (x As Single, y As Single) As Single

Parameters

x: Single

The value to compare with y.

y: Single

The value to compare with x.

Returns

Single

x if it is greater than y; otherwise, y.

Implements

MaxNumber(TSelf, TSelf)

Remarks

For IFloatingPoint<TSelf> this method matches the IEEE 754:2019 maximumNumber function. This requires NaN inputs to not be propagated back to the caller and for -0.0 to be treated as less than +0.0.
