# the use of max() function
# Creating vectors
x1 <- c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
x2 <- c(1, 4, 2, 8, NA, 11)
# Finding Maximum element
max(x1)
max(x2, na.rm = FALSE)
max(x2, na.rm = TRUE)
[1] 9 [1] NA [1] 11Example 2:
# R program to illustrate
# the use of max() function
# Creating a matrix
arr = array(2:13, dim = c(2, 3, 2))
print(arr)
# Using max() function
max(arr)
