SIMD.max

The static SIMD.%type%.max() method returns a new instance with the maximum lane values of two SIMD types (Math.max(a, b)).

Syntax

SIMD.Float32x4.max(a, b)
SIMD.Float64x2.max(a, b)

Parameters

a

An instance of a SIMD type.

b

Another instance of a SIMD type.

Return value

A new corresponding SIMD data type with the maximum lane values of a and b (Math.max(a, b)).

Description

The SIMD.%type%.max() method returns a new instance with the maximum lane values of two SIMD types (Math.max(a, b)).

This method prefers NaN over numbers. The SIMD.%type%.maxNum method prefers numbers over NaN.

Examples

var a = SIMD.Float32x4(-1, -2, 3, 5.2);
var b = SIMD.Float32x4(0, -4, 6, 5.5);
SIMD.Float32x4.max(a, b);
// Float32x4[0, -2, 6, 5.5]

var c = SIMD.Float64x2(NaN, Infinity)
var d = SIMD.Float64x2(1337, 42);
SIMD.Float64x2.max(c, d);
// Float64x2[NaN, Infinity]
