Description
- Description:
- Returns the array element with maximum numerical value. Engine solution to BIS_fnc_greatestNum and BIS_fnc_findExtreme. Therefore it is expected that supplied array consists of Numbers only. Booleans however are also supported and will be evaluated as Numbers: true - 1, false - 0. nil value treated as 0.
- Groups:
- Arrays
Syntax
- Syntax:
- selectMax array
- Parameters:
- array: Array - array of Numbers
- Return Value:
- Anything - element with maximum numerical value
Examples
- Example 1:
_max = selectMax [1,2,3,4,5]; //5- Example 2:
// Same as, for example: _max = _a max _b max _c max _d; // Only faster: _max = selectMax [_a,_b,_c,_d];

Returns either number or boolean value, in case max value in array 0, command will return either 0 or false, which ever comes first.
Same for 1 and true values.
selectMax [false,0] // returns false selectMax [0,false] // returns 0 selectMax [true,1] // returns true selectMax [1,true] // returns 1in case all values are equal or less than zero, command may also return other type of valuesselectMax ["",false,0,-1] // returns ""if nil value appears in array, other values are equal or less than zero, command returns nil
