Math.Max Method (Int16, Int16)
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Returns the larger of two 16-bit signed integers.
Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Shared Function Max ( _
val1 As Short, _
val2 As Short _
) As Short
public static short Max(
short val1,
short val2
)
Parameters
- val1
Type: System.Int16
The first of two 16-bit signed integers to compare.
- val2
Type: System.Int16
The second of two 16-bit signed integers to compare.
Return Value
Type: System.Int16
Parameter val1 or val2, whichever is larger.
Examples
The following example demonstrates how to use the Max method to return and display the greater of two Int16 variables.
