Max

Arithmetic Pure Generic
Max
A 0
Result
B 0

Description

Pure function returning the larger of two numbers.

When to use

Use Max to enforce a lower bound — for example, ensuring a delay is never shorter than a minimum threshold. Both integer and decimal inputs are accepted. Like Min, it is most useful when only one bound is needed; use Clamp when both a floor and a ceiling are required simultaneously.

Pins

Input pins

Pin Type Default Notes
A generic(integer, decimal) 0 The first number to compare.
B generic(integer, decimal) 0 The second number to compare.

Output pins

Pin Type Notes
Result generic(integer, decimal) The larger of a and b.

Example

Ensure a computed retry delay is at least 1000 milliseconds. Wire the computed delay (integer or decimal) into the A input of Max with B set to 1000, then feed the Result output into the Duration (ms) input of Sleep. Sleep will always wait at least one second even if the computed value is smaller.
