Example:

In the example below, Math.max() method is used to find out the largest of the given numbers.

var txt;

txt = "Math.max(10, 30, 20, 10, 90) : " + 
               Math.max(10, 30, 20, 10, 90) + "<br>";

txt = txt + "Math.max('10', '30', '20', '10') : " + 
               Math.max('10', '30', '20', '10') + "<br>";

txt = txt + "Math.max('10', '30', 20, '10') : " + 
               Math.max('10', '30', 20, '10') + "<br>";

txt = txt + "Math.max('10', 'x', 20, '10') : " + 
               Math.max('10', 'x', 20, '10') + "<br>";

The output (value of txt) after running above script will be:

Math.max(10, 30, 20, 10, 90) : 90
Math.max('10', '30', '20', '10') : 30
Math.max('10', '30', 20, '10') : 30
Math.max('10', 'x', 20, '10') : NaN
