comparitive operation a/s question

[charlie_says]

I know this can be done with if(), but is there not an operation which can do this.
I am checking between 2 variables and whichever is smallest is assigned to a third.
if (a<=b) {
c = a
} else if (b<a) {
c = b
}

That should work!!!

a = 5;
b = 7;
c = (a<=b) ? a : b;
trace(c);

yup yup, just learnt about that one not long ago studying java It's a join of both if and else!

thanks very much, knew it could be done, but never would have figured that out by myself.

... and if someone has read the doc ... :

var z = Math.max(x , y);

Is that faster????

yeah rip i think it is...

i wish it would give the highest from any number of values

[nGFX]

it is by far:

10000 iterations:
Math.max : 369ms
(a<=b)? : 381ms
