max()

Syntax

list.max()
max(list)
max(value1, value2, value3, ...)

Description

Function; returns the highest value in the specified list or the highest of a given series of values.

The max function also works with ASCII characters, similar to the way < and > operators work with strings.

Example

This handler assigns the variable Winner the maximum value in the list Bids, which consists of [#Castle:600, #Schmitz:750, #Wang:230]. The result is then inserted into the content of the field cast member Congratulations.

on findWinner Bids
	Winner = Bids.max()
	member("Congratulations").text = \
	"You have won, with a bid of $" & Winner &"!"
end
