How to get the max values

[psevet]

Hello,

I'm stuck on a problem regarding comparison :

in a edittext I enter a value, eg 10
x=1.5
z= 0.5

I want my program to calculate (value1 * x) + (value2 * z) in a loop :

for i=1 to 20
for y= 1 to 20
temp=(i * x) + (y * z)
if temp<MyEditText.text then

Here I want to get the max value beetween the current temp and the previous one, then store the i and y values depending on this comparison in order to keep the maximum value and the corresponding i and y values at the end of both loops.

end if
next
next

This would be the way I would deal with this problem, but if I can get another solution I will take it.

Thanks for your help.

I think that storing the values in two additional variables is the simplest solution:

Dim maxI, maxY, max As Float
x=1.5
z= 0.5

for i=1 to 20
   for y= 1 to 20
     temp=(i * x) + (y * z)
   if temp<MyEditText.text AND temp > max then
    max = temp
    maxI = i
    maxY = y
   end if
  next
next
