Max and Min
Compares two values and returns the maximum and minimum values.
Inputs/Outputs
x
The value to compare.
x must be of the same data type as y.
y
The value to compare.
This input also supports waveforms.
max
The larger value.
min
The smaller value.
Examples
| Parameters | Compare Elements | Comments | Compare Aggregates | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| First input array (x) | [3,2,3,4] | [3,2,3,4] | ||
| Second input array (y) | [2,3,4,5] | [2,3,4,5] | ||
| Maximum (max) | [3,3,4,5] | The node returns an array of the maximum elements from the two input arrays. | [3,2,3,4] | Because the first elements of the two input arrays are not equal, and because 3>2, the node stops and returns [3,2,3,4] as the maximum array. |
| Minimum (min) | [2,2,3,4] | The node returns an array of the minimum elements from the two input arrays. | [2,3,4,5] | Because the first elements of the two input arrays are not equal, and because 2<3, the node stops and returns [2,3,4,5] as the minimum array. |
Behavior with Array and Cluster
Inputs
When using Max and Min to compare arrays and clusters, you can select a comparison mode. Note that Max and Min produces a different type of output than other Comparison nodes in each of the two comparison modes. In Compare Elements mode,Max and Min returns an array or cluster of the maximum elements and minimum elements. In Compare Aggregates mode,Max and Min returns the maximum and minimum array and cluster.
