Java program to find maximum of two numbers using Math.max()

• We can find maximum of two numbers by using if condition check.
• In java.lang.Math class also having a method Math.max() which will take two numbers and returns maximum number.
• We have separate methods for int , float , double and long.

1.  public static double max(double a, double b)

Java program to find maximum of two double values using Math.max() method.

1. package com.mathmax;
2. public class MathMAx {
3.     
4.     /**
5.      * Math.max() method in java

7.      */
8.  
9.   public static void main(String[] args) {
10.         
11.         
12.         double a = 234567;
13.         double b =234557;
14.      
15.         double x = 764554;
16.         double y =764464;
17.         
18.         System.out.println("Math.max(" + a + "," + b + ")=" + Math.max(a, b));
19.         System.out.println("Math.max(" + x + "," + y + ")=" + Math.max(x, y));
20.         
21.     }
22.  
23. }

Output:

1. Math.pow(3.0,4.0)=81.0
2. Math.pow(4.0,3.0)=64.0
3. Math.pow(4,2)=16.0

Java program to find maximum of two float values using Math.max() method.

Java program to find maximum of two int values using Math.max() method.

9. public static void main(String[] args) {
10.         
11.         System.out.println( Math.max(1, 1));
12.         System.out.println( Math.max(1, 2));
13.         System.out.println(Math.max(1.222f, 1.223f));
14.         System.out.println(Math.max(1.222, 1.223));
15.         
16.     }
17.  
18. }

Output:

1. 1
2. 2
3. 1.223
4. 1.223
