max, maxi, maxfSynopsismaxset max(set) set max(set, int) maxiint maxi(set) maxffloat maxf(set) DescriptionThe max command, in its first form returns a singleton set consisting of the largest number in the parameter set. In the second form, the returned set is not a singleton, but contains X largest numbers from the input set, where X is the second parameter. This command only considers numeric members of the input set, or strings that can be interpreted as a number. All other members of the set are ignored. If the set contains no numbers and no strings that can be interpreted as a number, an empty set is returned. The maxi and maxf commands operate in essentially the same way as max, except that they return an int or a float respectively. The greatest found number in the provided set is cast to the appropriate return type, and rounded if necessary.
