# [−][src]Function core::cmp::max_by

    pub fn max_by<T, F: FnOnce(&T, &T) -> Ordering>(v1: T, v2: T, compare: F) -> T

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`cmp_min_max_by` #64460)

Returns the maximum of two values with respect to the specified comparison function.

Returns the second argument if the comparison determines them to be equal.

# Examples

    #![feature(cmp_min_max_by)]

    use std::cmp;

    assert_eq!(cmp::max_by(-2, 1, |x: &i32, y: &i32| x.abs().cmp(&y.abs())), -2);
    assert_eq!(cmp::max_by(-2, 2, |x: &i32, y: &i32| x.abs().cmp(&y.abs())), 2);Run

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g., `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g., `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)

Search multiple things at once by splitting your query with comma (e.g., `str,u8` or `String,struct:Vec,test`)
