Definition and Purpose:
The ArrayMax function in ProBuilder language is used to find the maximum value within an array. This function is particularly useful when you need to determine the highest value from a set of data points stored in an array, which is common in data analysis and financial calculations.
Syntax:
ArrayMax($MyArray)Example:
Suppose you have an array of closing prices for a stock over the last 5 days and you want to find the highest closing price in that period. Here’s how you can use ArrayMax:
$prices[1] = 130
$prices[2] = 135
$prices[3] = 128
$prices[4] = 140
$prices[5] = 138
highestPrice = ArrayMax($prices)
In this example, highestPrice will hold the value 140, which is the maximum value in the prices array.
Additional Information:
- The
ArrayMaxfunction only works with arrays. Ensure that the variable you pass as an argument is an array. - The function returns the highest numerical value found in the array. If the array is empty, the function returns an undefined value.
