Export assignment maxabs

• maxabs(x: number, y: number): number

• Returns the maximum absolute value.

  Notes

  • When an empty set is considered a subset of the extended reals (all real numbers, including positive and negative infinity), negative infinity is the least upper bound. Similar to zero being the identity element for the sum of an empty set and to one being the identity element for the product of an empty set, negative infinity is the identity element for the maximum, and thus, if not provided any arguments, the function returns +infinity (i.e., the absolute value of -infinity).

  Parameters

  • x: number

    first number

  • y: number

    second number

  Returns number

  maximum absolute value

  Example

  var v = maxabs( 3.14, -4.2 );
  // returns 4.2

  Example

  var v = maxabs( 3.14, NaN );
  // returns NaN

  Example

  var v = maxabs( +0.0, -0.0 );
  // returns +0.0
