Select xlim max-value

Is it possible to return the xlim max directly with a oneliner? Rigth now I am using:

xmax = xlim
max = xmax(2)

I am guessing that I can access the max-value directly but I can't figure out how.

Answer 1

[Fangjun Jiang]

max() is a function. Don't use it as a variable name.

xmax=max(xlim)

Answer 2

xmax = max(xlim);

This is slightly more expensive than choosing the 2nd element directly, but is is just one additional comparison, so I'm convinced, that the delay is not serious.

Or:

xmax = xlim * [0; 1];
