max(): Maximum number

echo max(4,8,2); // 8 
echo "<br>";
echo max(5,-1,0); // 5
echo "<br>";
echo max(2,0,-3); // 2
echo "<br>";
echo max(array(4,6,1)); // 6
echo "<br>";

echo max('plus2net',5,-2);// plus2net
echo "<br>";
echo max('abcd',5,0);// abcd
echo "<br>";
echo max('hello', 1); // hello

echo "<br><BR>";
echo max(0, 'hello');     // hello
echo "<br>";
echo max('hello', 0);     // hello

MAX(value1,value2,value3....);

?>

Max with String

echo max(-2.5,'plus2net'); // Output  plus2net
echo max(0,'plus2net'); // Output is 0, when values are equal the order decides the output 
echo max(3,'plus2net');  //Output is 3
?>

Max with array

<?Php
echo max(array(3,15,-5)); //Output is 15
?>
