Numpy's max(~) method computes the maximum value of the input array along the specified axis. This is just an alias for Numpy's amax(~), so check out the full docs here.

Parameters

1. a | array_like

The input array.

2. axis | None or int | optional

The allowed values are as follows:

Parameter value	Meaning
axis=0	Maximum computed column-wise
axis=1	Maximum computed row-wise
None	Maximum computed from entire array

By default, axis=None.

3. initial | int | optional

If the computed maximum is less than initial, then initial will be returned instead.

4. where | array-like of booleans | optional

Instead of considering all the values, we can choose which values to consider by providing this parameter. Only values corresponding to True in the mask will be considered.

Examples

Refer to amax(~)
