How do i get the highest number from the array.

Hi

I am trying to retrieve the highest number within a array.

lets say the array has stored 1 6 5 7 8 5 4 1 0 then i want the number 8.

Who has the answer?

Thanx!

Kind Regards.

use local var = 0

loop through the values in the array

if array value > local var set local var = array value

local var will have highest value from array

ninja'd but here we go:

global number highest=0

+----------------------+
|                      | set highest to array.at(0)
+----------------------+
   +-------------------+
   | array: for each x | set highest to max(highest, array.curValue)
   +-------------------+

ninja'd but here we go:

global number highest=0

+----------------------+
|                      | set highest to array.at(0)
+----------------------+
   +-------------------+
   | array: for each x | set highest to max(highest, array.curValue)
   +-------------------+

fancy

I'm always fumbling with the build in array options :\ and tend to use:

var = 0

for 0 to array.width

(compare 2 values) array.at(loopindex) > var set var array.at(loopindex)

Thanks Guys!!

That helped me out.

I Ninja'd the highest number

Should be:

for 0 to array.width-1

Should be:

for 0 to array.width-1

Redundant ... it would not have been > 0 anyways

In this case, but as a general pattern, width-1 is correct.

blackhornet is correct when he says general pattern, width-1 is correct.
