The array to be searched.max_subscript
(optional) The subscript of the maximum element in array:
Returns the value of thelargest element in an input array.
The array to be searched.max_subscript
(optional) The subscript of the maximum element in array:
The value of the largest element in array. The result is given in the same data type as array. If the Dimension keyword is used, then the values of result, max_subscript, and Min will all have the structure of the input array, but with dimension n collapsed.
An integer (n 
0) designating the dimension over which the maximum is taken.Min
Used to specify a variable to hold the value of the minimum array element.
TIP: If you need to find both the minimum and maximum array values, use this keyword to avoid scanning the array twice with separate calls to MAX and MIN.
