Java Math.max Method

Java Math.max() method can be used with four data types (int, double, float, long) as input arguments.

Example 1: Find the largest of the two numbers 8.4685 and 8.46851

double num1 = 8.4685; 
double num2 = 8.46851; 

double max = Math.max(num1, num2);
System.out.println(max); //8.46851

Example 2: Find the largest of the two numbers 5 and -5 (one positive and one negative value).

int num1 = 5; 
int num2 = -5; 

int max = Math.max(num1, num2);
System.out.println(max); //5

Example 3: Find the largest of the two numbers -5 and -50 (two negative numbers).

int num1 = -5; 
int num2 = -50; 

int max = Math.max(num1, num2);
System.out.println(max); //-5
