possible? max(myArray[]);
« on: Feb 6th, 2004, 11:21pm » |

Am I just wishing or is it possible to use the max() function to determine the largest value in an array of floats or integers?
Is there some other similar method (since I tried the code below and it obviously doesn't work)?
Code:
cue music
"when you wish upon a var, it makes a difference what the methods are...."
(sorry, I couldn't help myself!  )

lol, where do you go to way a pie? somewhere over the rainbow... way... a... pie.
you can't use the max() method as you describe, but here's a piece of code that will find what you want:
Code:
int[] a = { 2,5,1,3 };
int maximum=0;
for(int i=0; i<a.length; i++) {
if(a[i]>maximum) maximum=a[i];
}
//the value of maximum is that max value.

and this will sort an array of floats or integers into ascending numerical order:
Code:
int[] a = {2,6,1,3};
Arrays.sort(a);
//now a={1,2,3,6} so you can find the maximum value by reading a[a.length-1]
