Finding the max number

Lucky

How would one go about finding the max number out of two or more values? For example, in java the command·" z = Math.max(x, y); " z is assigned the highest value between the two numbers compared, x and y. I searched the propeller manuel and did not find any similar command. If such a command did not exist, could someone suggest a piece of code that could do the same function.

z := y
if(x > z)
  z := x

Yeah...

And, if you have more than one value...

' n is the size of the array of numbers
 
z := numbers[noparse][[/noparse]0]
 
repeat i from 0 to (n - 1)
  
  if(numbers[noparse][[/noparse]i] > z)
    z := numbers[noparse][[/noparse]i]

How about finding the middle number out of three values?

There are min and max operators in spin: <# (min), and #> (max) -- see page 155 of the manual.
