Find largest value

[Adolfik]

I couldn't find it anywhere ;/ so I need to ask here

I got few values like

$1,$2,$3

all are just numbers and I need to find which one of them is the biggest one.

Thanks

Adolfik,

How about putting the values into an array and using _ArrayMax?

I couldn't find it anywhere

It is in the Help file!

How are the values stored? Excel spreadsheet, text file, data structure (array, linked list, etc)? If it is in a text file, is there any other data in the file?

[cageman]

simple way is with if statements.

if $1>=$2 and $1>=$3 Then
$max=$1;
elseif $2>=3 Then
$max=$2;
else
$max=$3;
endif

Examples

#include <Array.au3>
Dim $Array[4]
$Array[0] = 4
$Array[1] = 9
$Array[2] = 1
$Array[3] = 5
MsgBox(64, 'Example #1', 'The biggest value is ' & _ArrayMax($Array) & '.')

#include <Array.au3>
Dim $Array[4]
$Array[0] = 4
$Array[1] = 9
$Array[2] = 1
$Array[3] = 5
_ArrayDisplay($Array)

#include <Array.au3>
Dim $Array[4]
For $i = 0 to 3
    $Array[$i] = Random(0, 99)
Next
MsgBox(64, 'Example #3', 'The biggest value is ' & _ArrayMax($Array) & '.')
_ArrayDisplay($Array)

Is there any way to do this with a mufti denominational array, using only one collum?

[water]

"mufti denominational array"? Or do you mean a "multi dimensional array"?

BTW: You necro a thread that is nearly 2 years old.

[koman92040]

pardon my spelling "multi dimensional array" here's what i'm doing, I'm using one array to store The Hostame, IP address and Ping response time in a 2 dimensional array (5 by 3) then bases on the Ping response value launch a remote assistance session.

So far I have

TCPStartup()
$input = InputBox(@ScriptName, "Hostname:",)
If @error Then
TCPShutdown()
Exit
EndIf
$hostname = StringStripWS($input, 8)
Dim $ping[5][3] = [[4],[$hostname],[$hostname & ".example.com"],[$hostname & ".in.example.com"],[$hostname & ".corp.in.example.com"]]
While 1
For $loop = 1 To $ping[0][0]
  $ping[$loop][1] = TCPNameToIP($ping[$loop][0])
  $ping[$loop][2] = Ping($ping[$loop][1])
Next
For $loop = 1 To $ping[0][0]
  If $ping[$loop][2] Then
   TrayTip("Launching Connection", "Remote Assistance is launching a connection to " & $ping[$loop][0] & " at " & $ping[$loop][1] & " wich responded in " & $ping[$loop][2] & "ms", 30)
   Run("msra.exe /offerra " & $ping[$loop][1])
   ExitLoop
  EndIf
Next
WEnd
TCPShutdown()

but right now it users the first pingable FQDN, i want the fastest responding FQDN.

I realize this is an old post, i goggled and found this topic and thought it was applicable to what i'm doing. If

[water]

I would use something like this to use the fastest connection:

$input = InputBox(@ScriptName, "Hostname:",)
If @error Then Exit
TCPStartup()
$hostname = StringStripWS($input, 8)
Global $ping[5][3] = [[4],[$hostname],[$hostname & ".example.com"],[$hostname & ".in.example.com"],[$hostname & ".corp.in.example.com"]]
Global $iFastestValue = 9999999999999, $iFastestIndex = 0
While 1
    For $loop = 1 To $ping[0][0]
        $ping[$loop][1] = TCPNameToIP($ping[$loop][0])
        $ping[$loop][2] = Ping($ping[$loop][1])
        If $ping[$loop][2] > 0 And $ping[$loop][2] < $iFastestValue Then
            $iFastestValue = $ping[$loop][2]
            $iFastestIndex = $loop
        EndIf
    Next
    TrayTip("Launching Connection", "Remote Assistance is launching a connection to " & $ping[$iFastestIndex][0] & " at " & $ping[$iFastestIndex][1] & " wich responded in " & $ping[$iFastestIndex][2] & "ms", 30)
    Run("msra.exe /offerra " & $ping[$iFastestIndex][1])
    ExitLoop
WEnd
TCPShutdown()
