Returns the larger of two real values.
Examples
REM Simple comparison
PRINT MAXR(3.5, 7.2)
REM Clamp a value to a minimum
VALUE# = -1.25
VALUE# = MAXR(VALUE#, 0.0)
PRINT VALUE#
REM Use in an expression
A# = 2.75
B# = 2.80
PRINT "Largest is "; MAXR(A#, B#)
Notes
- Both parameters must be real expressions.
- Returns whichever value is higher.
- Commonly used for clamping values or enforcing lower bounds with real numbers.
- For integer values, use MAX.
