The Math.max() method is used to return the largest of zero or more numbers. The result is “-Infinity” if no arguments are passed and the result is NaN if at least one of the arguments cannot be converted to a number.

The max() is a static method of Math, therefore, it is always used as Math.max(), rather than as a method of a Math object created.

Syntax:

Math.max(value1, value2, ...)

Parameters: This method accepts as ingle parameter that can be used n number of times as mentioned above and described below:

• value: This values sent to math.max() method for finding the largest.

Return vlues: The Math.max() method returns the largest of the given numbers.

Below examples illustrates the Math max() method in JavaScript:

• Example 1:

  Input : Math.max(10, 32, 2)
  Output: 32

• Example 2:

  Input : Math.max(-10, -32, -1)
  Output: -1

• Example 3:

  Input : Math.max()
  Output: -Infinity

• Example 4:

  Input : Math.max(10,2,NaN)
  Output: NaN

More codes for the above method are as follows:
Program 1: When negative numbers are passed as parameters.
