Easiest way to find highest number + how to see if one number is divisble by another

[Titanhex]

Alright so I was hoping someone could give me the easiest way to find these mathmatical equations. There's gotta be an easy way to pick the highest number from a pool. And I've seen the division thing in a lot of games

Simple pseudo code

highest = 0
loop i
if array > highest then
highest = array // or save the index to know where the number is stored

For the other thing you propably want to use modulo.

2 mod 2 = 0 since the division remainder is 0. 3 mod 2 is 1. 15 mod 5 is 0.

I think GUI is easiest so:
For the first one, set a variable to the amount of numbers you got (the numbers should be in an array)
Set HighestNumber (Real Variable) = Numbers[1]
Loop - 1-AmountVar
If Numbers[IntegerA] is greater than HighestNumber then
set HighestNumber = Numbers[IntegerA]

And the second: Set both into a real variable (if you havent already), then do:
Set X (real) = (Number1/number2)
If X = (convert real (X) into integer) then
set CanBeDivided = true (or something)
Else do
set CanBeDivided = false (or something)

(Havent got Editor on this comp, so I cant test this right now)

Arrays start at 0, not 1.

Your computer courses should have taught you these algerthims.

1. is the maximum, where you loop through all elements storing the largest element.
You can also do this by getting the first or last element if the array is sorted, but that is not always possible.

2. Check if the modulous in 0. Even GUI has an instriction for modulus. Basically it returns the remainder of a division opperation, so if the remainder is 0 then the number fully divides the other.

Thanks, TheMaker solved this a while ago. Actually I remember the algorithm in computer class to find the largest, it just has slipped my mind since it's been a while. Thanks though.

And I didn't know about Modulo, that's a new one to me. Glad I know what it does now.

...Fix your signature, ~please.

 

[Titanhex]

Errr, whats wrong with my sig?

Yerr signatures link is 100% wide, and that is just fucken' annoying when you mistakely press it while scrolling down the page.
Never put center after link.

<- The correct method to apply the two.
