SIMD.%type%.max()

This is an experimental technology
Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for usage in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the specification changes.

The static SIMD.%type%.max() method returns a new instance with the maximum lane values of two SIMD types (Math.max(a, b)).

Syntax

SIMD.Float32x4.max(a, b)
SIMD.Float64x2.max(a, b)

Parameters

a
An instance of a SIMD type.
b
Another instance of a SIMD type.

Return value

A new corresponding SIMD data type with the maximum lane values of a and b (Math.max(a, b)).

Description

The SIMD.%type%.max() method returns a new instance with the maximum lane values of two SIMD types (Math.max(a, b)).

This method prefers NaN over numbers. The SIMD.%type%.maxNum method prefers numbers over NaN.

Examples

var a = SIMD.Float32x4(-1, -2, 3, 5.2);
var b = SIMD.Float32x4(0, -4, 6, 5.5);
SIMD.Float32x4.max(a, b);
// Float32x4[0, -2, 6, 5.5]

var c = SIMD.Float64x2(NaN, Infinity)
var d = SIMD.Float64x2(1337, 42);
SIMD.Float64x2.max(c, d);
// Float64x2[NaN, Infinity]
