max

Question

Hi

I need to make a part of a code that founds the highest between more than two parameters, I know the command Math.max, but it only works for 2 parameters.

Can anyone give me a command for finding the highest (and lowest) between 3 or more parameters?

thank you

Hi mashav manila,

According to the MSDN document of Math.Max Method, we could not add more than two parameters to Math.Max Method. If you want to get the max value between 3 numbers, I suggest you could use the following code:

Console.WriteLine(Math.Max(1, Math.Max(2, 3)));
Console.ReadLine();

If you want to get the max values from a group of data (more than three), I think you should hand code it.

MSDN document about Math.Max Method:

When you say parameters: how are the values stored?

There are Max/Min functions for List(of) for example that are really handy:

' Max in a List (doubles or other)
ListOfDouble.Max
ListOfDouble.Min

Now if you have a set of parameters that are not of the same class you can specify what you are looking for.

There are also possibilities to process the parameters inside the Max/Min as described in this msdn: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb909383(v=vs.95).aspx
