max

@JvmName(name = "maxOrThrow")

fun Sequence<Double>.max(): Double(source)

@JvmName(name = "maxOrThrow")

fun Sequence<Float>.max(): Float(source)

Returns the largest element.

If any of elements is NaN, this function returns NaN.

The operation is terminal.

Since Kotlin

1.7

Throws

NoSuchElementException

if the sequence is empty.

Samples

import kotlin.math.*
import kotlin.test.*

fun main() { 
   //sampleStart 
   // The largest and smallest elements in the array
val numbers = doubleArrayOf(3.0, 7.2, 2.4, 6.5)
println(numbers.max()) // 7.2
println(numbers.min()) // 2.4

// max() and min() return `NaN` if any of elements is `NaN`
val numbersWithNaN = doubleArrayOf(3.0, Double.NaN, 7.2, 2.4, 6.5)
println(numbersWithNaN.max()) // NaN
println(numbersWithNaN.min()) // NaN

val emptyArray = doubleArrayOf()

// max() and min() throw if the array is empty
// emptyArray.max() // will fail with NoSuchElementException
// emptyArray.min() // will fail with NoSuchElementException

// maxOrNull() and minOrNull() return null if the array is empty
println(emptyArray.maxOrNull()) // null
println(emptyArray.minOrNull()) // null 
   //sampleEnd

@JvmName(name = "maxOrThrow")

fun <T : Comparable<T>> Sequence<T>.max(): T(source)

Returns the largest element.

If there are multiple equal maximal elements, this function returns the first of those elements.

The operation is terminal.

Since Kotlin

1.7

Throws

NoSuchElementException

if the sequence is empty.

Samples

import kotlin.math.*
import kotlin.test.*

fun main() { 
   //sampleStart 
   // The largest and smallest elements according to String.compareTo
val names = listOf("Alice", "Bob", "Carol")
println(names.max()) // Carol
println(names.min()) // Alice

val emptyList = emptyList<Int>()

// max() and min() throw if the collection is empty
// emptyList.max() // will fail with NoSuchElementException
// emptyList.min() // will fail with NoSuchElementException

// maxOrNull() and minOrNull() return null if the collection is empty
println(emptyList.maxOrNull()) // null
println(emptyList.minOrNull()) // null 
   //sampleEnd
