max
and min
return the maximum or minimum of all the
values present in their arguments.
If na.rm
is FALSE
and NA
value in any of the arguments
will cause a value of NA
to be returned, otherwise NA
values are
ignored.
The minimum and maximum of a numeric empty set are +Inf
and
-Inf
(in this order!) which ensures transitivity, e.g.,
min(x1, min(x2)) == min(x1, x2)
. For numeric x
max(x) == -Inf
and min(x) == +Inf
whenever
length(x) == 0
(after removing missing values if requested).
