##### 22.6.2.15 nzmax

— Loadable Function: scalar = nzmax (SM)

> Return the amount of storage allocated to the sparse matrix SM. Note that Octave tends to crop unused memory at the first oppurtunity for sparse objects. There are some cases of user created sparse objects where the value returned by nzmaz will not be the same as nnz, but in general they will give the same result.
