JavaScript Math max() Method

The Math.max() method in JavaScript returns the largest value from a set of zero or more numbers. This method is a static method of the Math object, meaning it is always called Math.max() and not as a method of an instance of the Math object.

Syntax:

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

Parameters:

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

Return values:

• If one or more numbers are passed as arguments, Math.max() will return the largest of them.
• Math.max() will return -Infinity if no arguments are provided.
• If any argument cannot be converted to a number, the method will return NaN (Not-a-Number).
