Pick closest available value [snap to value]

Following capx performs how I picked closest value in list:

A tested value ranged from 0 to 90 driven by slider bar value. Given list are; [ 0, 5, 16, 33, 90 ] and these numbers have difference interval.

So if test_value is 7 the program yields 5 as picked_value since the difference between 7 to 5 is smaller than difference between 7 to 16. If test_value is 12 of course it will pick 16 as picked_value.

The question is:

Is there any alternative way to pick closest value from provided list of numbers? Usually I use object to pick which one nearest to certain position value but this time I try to avoid using that approach.

Good suggestion. I'll try to implement that in between condition. Concenat rules!

As a similar idea to yours just loop over the list and you can see how close two values are with abs(value1-value2). So the code below would first use the first item in the list as the closest then it would select any item that was closer than the current closest.

var list="1,44,33,66,7"
var item=0
var value=33
var closest=0
repeat tokencount(list, ",") times
-- set item to int(tokenat(list, loopindex, ","))
-- if loopindex=0 or abs(item-value)<abs(closest-value)
-- -- set closest to item

Nice ideas ))

Here is one more idea to add more variation to the Menu

Thanks everyone they are nice examples to comprehend. Here what I came up with ternary operator:
