Min/max value

[BlackCurtain]

I was kinda shocked to realize that Bennu doesn't have any elementary math functions for returning min/max values between a set of values, like this:

Code Select Expand


min_value = min(val1,val2,val3,...); //Return the lowest value
max_value = max(val1,val2,val3,...); //Return the highest value

Sure it would be easy to write my own function for it, but it still seems like it's something that should exist.

with 2 simple for loops you can get these values easily...

Yes, I know, but a native function for it would be even better that could take more than 2 arguments.


Here's my take at it if anyone is in need of a similar function

Code Select Expand



function maxValue(int val1, int val2, int val3, int val4)
private
int value_args[3];
int i;
int largest;
end
   begin
     
      value_args[0] = val1;
      value_args[1] = val2;
      value_args[2] = val3;
      value_args[3] = val4;
     
      largest = value_args[0];
     
      for(i = 0; i <= 3; i++)
         if( largest < value_args[i] )
            largest = value_args[i];
         end
      end
     
      return largest;
     
   end

forget more of 2 args

MIN y MAX in C are defines...

use this

Code Select Expand


#define min(a,b) ((a)<(b)?(a):(b))
#define max(a,b) ((a)>(b)?(a):(b))


for 4 args you can do

Code Select Expand


#define min4(a,b,c,d) min(min(a,b),min(c,d))
#define max4(a,b,c,d) max(max(a,b),max(c,d))


enjoy it!

no problem... ;)
