Hello.

Anyone know how to compute the Max value of two numbers, similar to "c" language function?
ex. MaxValue := Max(Val1, Val2).

Assembler is over my head.

Thanks.

    Welcome to the Parallax forum, Otis! Here's the way to do the max operation in Spin:
    MaxValue := Val1 #> Val2

    If you want to accumulate a maximum from a sequence of data reads, for example, there's also an assignment version:
    MaxValue #>= Val

    Just remember that all math in Spin is signed, including the comparisons that #> and <# (the "min" operator) perform internally.
