# Function max
|
|
|
|
Compute the maximum value of a matrix or a list with values.
|
|
In case of a multi dimensional array, the maximum of the flattened array
|
|
will be calculated. When `dim` is provided, the maximum over the selected
|
|
dimension will be calculated. Parameter `dim` is zero-based.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Syntax

|
|
math.max(a, b, c, ...)
|
|
math.max(A)
|
|
math.max(A, dim)
|
|
```

|
|
math.max([[2, 5], [4, 3], [1, 7]], 0); // returns [4, 7]
|
|
math.max([[2, 5], [4, 3]], [1, 7], 1); // returns [5, 4, 7]
