The maximum of two variables

[Shansen]

Is there a simple function that can be used to compare two (double) variables and store the maximum (the larger of the two) value for later reference?

The structure I'm using to achieve this currently is a little long in the tooth:

If (variable1 > variable2)
{
variable3 = variable1;
}
else
{
variable3 = variable2;
}

Thanks

you could try

Math.Max(variable1,variable2);

[NetTecture]

Math.Max is the best answer.

That said, the second best would be:

variable3 = variable1>variable2 ? variable1 : variable2;

The original post (if) indicates... the need to read a good book about C#

zweistein & NetTecture,

Thanks for your advice. It worked a treat.
