Java Long - max() Method

The java.lang.Long.max() method returns the greater of two long values as if by calling Math.max.

Syntax

public static long max(long a,
                       long b)

Parameters

`a`	Specify the first operand.
`b`	Specify the second operand.

Return Value

Returns the greater of a and b.

Exception

NA.

Example:

In the example below, the java.lang.Long.max() method returns the greater of passed two long arguments.

import java.lang.*;

public class MyClass {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    
    //creating long values
    long x = 5;
    long y = 10;

    //printing the max of two long values
    System.out.println("max(x, y) = " + Long.max(x, y));   
  }
}

The output of the above code will be:

max(x, y) = 10
