MAXIMUM%

Syntax	MAXIMUM% [ ( array% ) ] or MAXIMUM% ( *[ value ]* )
Location	Minmax (DIY Toolkit - Vol Z)

This function is exactly the same as MAXIMUM except that it only accepts integer parameters and is therefore able to work much more quickly. As with MAXIMUM, you can use this function to find the highest value in an array, provided that the first variant is used, and the array is a single dimensional integer array. If no parameter is supplied, then the greatest possible integer number supported by the QL is returned - this is equivalent to 32767.

Example

PRINT MAXIMUM%

Returns 32767

DIM x%(3): x%(0)=10: x%(1)=200: x%(2)=2: x%(3)=50
PRINT MAXIMUM% (x%)

Returns 200.

PRINT MAXIMUM% (100, ax ,21*10+ac)

Returns the highest value as an integer.

NOTE

This function cannot be compiled with Supercharge or Turbo if you intend to pass an array as the parameter.
