|
|
|
|
returns the absolute value of input parameter `x`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### max
|
|
|
|
math `->` max (x : [Number](/microbit/reference/types/number), y : [Number](/microbit/reference/types/number)) *returns* [Number](/microbit/reference/types/number)
|
|
|
|
returns the larger of two input numbers (`x` and `y`)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### min
|
|
|
|
math `->` min (x : [Number](/microbit/reference/types/number), y : [Number](/microbit/reference/types/number)) *returns* [Number](/microbit/reference/types/number)
