MAX: maximum of scalar arguments, or of array (f)

• MAX returns the

  maximum value

  of the scalar arguments or the array argument:
  • • result = MAX( x, y, z, ...) ! x, y, z are numeric scalars, e.g.:
    • largest = MAX( 4, -3.1, EXP(1) ) ! sets largest to 4
  • • REAL :: vec(5)
    • vec = RAN( 100, 10) ! e.g. 96.00351636 90.99435447 108.1637875 91.95317195 90.80626762
    • result = MAX(vec) ! set to 108.1637875
• MAXLOC is to find the

  location of the maximum

  , e.g.:
  • loc = MAXLOC( vec ) ! is set to 3
• analogous functions are MIN and MINLOC
