Get item that has maximum value (Arraylist class)

[Introduced in Sirius Mods 7.8]


MaximumItem is related to the Maximum Arraylist method, which return the number or name of the item that has the maximum value in an Arraylist.

Syntax

%item = al:MaximumItem[( [itemFunction])]

Syntax terms

%item An Arraylist item of the same type as the al object.
al An Arraylist object.
method A function that operates on the type of the items in the Arraylist. It may be a local method or method variable or a class member (Variable, Property), and it must return an intrinsic value. The default method value is the special identity function, This, which simply returns the item value.

Usage notes

  • The optional method parameter lets you further manipulate the Arraylist item values before performing the MaximumItem method's item evaluation. If your Arraylist items are not intrinsic values, you must specify a method function that can map the item values to intrinsic values or the method will fail.

Examples

For the ArrayList %al whose items are the odd integers between 0 and 10, %al:maxItem returns 9.
