$max returns the maximum from a list of tokens. $min and $max are effectively a short-cut to returning either the first or last token from a $sorttok list, and uses different .prop settings to replicate the different switches used by $sorttok. By default, $min and $max sort the tokens with the same rules used by the $sorttok 'n' switch.

Synopsis[edit]

$max(<space delimited tokens>)
$max(<comma,delimited,tokens>)

Parameters[edit]

• <list> - If only 1 parameter is passed, that parameter must be a list of tokens space delimited. Otherwise each parameter passed represent an element in the list.

Properties[edit]

• .text - sorts tokens using the same text sorting rules used by $sorttok 'a' switch
• .textcs - sorts tokens using the same text sorting rules used by $sorttokcs 'a' switch
• .nick - sorts tokens using the same text sorting rules used by $sorttok 'c' switch

Examples[edit]

//echo -a $max(11 2 3 5 8 13) $max(11,2,3,5,8,13)

//echo -a $max(c C).text vs $max(c C).textcs

Returns "c vs C" because, as case-insensitive text, 'C' and 'c' are the same, so the leftmost of the pair is returned.

Numeric sorting rules recognize exponential, so $man(1e2 1d2) handles both of them as 100.

//echo -a $max( 1:black 02:blue 14:grey 3:green 13:magenta 5:maroon 6:purple 04:red 7:tan 8:yellow 0:white)

result: 0:white
