Max11 is all my code. Why doesn't it work????🤔
I use 8, but only when I'm operating on unsigned longs.
@coja I am the engineer because I forget about Math.max existence
Engineer likely ends up with the smallest code. Though the hit to execution time for a branch sucks. (Pipelines and such)
Bit hacker will take the least execution time because of pipelines, but it needs more comments. Maybe something like // trust me, this works.
Yoink.
Actually I've probably been all of these at various times in my career.
here’s another mathematical approach (that has the added benefit of only working when x and y are both positive).
let f denote the linear functional on ℝ^2^ defined by f(1,0) = x and f(0,1) = y (and extend by linearity). then the operator norm || f || is equal to max(x,y).
I'm mostly lost and in over my head
Why use
const max = (x, y) => x > y ? x : y
instead of
function max(x, y) { return x > y ? x : y }
?
2, but I'm incredibly embarrassed to say that I've had to do 9 before
