Does anyone know how to get the biggest number in a list?
I mean, for example, from the list below,

[10 12 34 20 25(

I wanna get the number '34' alone.

Kind regards, yumori.

Hi Yumori and welcome to this forum.

If you are using pd-extended or pd-l2Ork, you can use the object [max_n]. It will outputs the largest number in the last n numbers. You use it like this:

[10 12 34 20 25(
|
[max_n 5]
|
[nbx]

So in the case above, [max_n 5] will look at all previous 5 numbers it received and output the largest one. Similarly, you can also use [min_n].

Take care,
Gilberto

@gsagostinho Thank you very much!!! I didn't know that method. If I use this and [list length] together, I can get the biggest number from any lists. I appreciate your kindness. Thank you so much

Here is the vanilla abstraction I made some time ago...
list-max.pd
list-max-help.pd
It is based on abstraction by sebfumaster.
