# Function maxnumf16

Source

    pub const fn maxnumf16(x: f16, y: f16) -> f16

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`core_intrinsics`)
Expand description

Returns the maximum (IEEE 754-2008 maxNum) of two `f16` values.

Note that, unlike most intrinsics, this is safe to call; it does not require an `unsafe` block. Therefore, implementations must not require the user to uphold any safety invariants.

The stabilized version of this intrinsic is `f16::max`
