Method used to Find the Larger of two numbers

I'm defining a method to compare two numbers, then print the result on a single line. This is what I have so far:
public static void printLarger(int One, int Two)
System.out.println(_____(One, Two));
What method would I call to find which is larger? Is there a place where I can find common methods like this? Am I on the right track?
Thanks in advance.

try this
public class PrintLarger
     static int a = 1;
     static int b = 2;
     public static void main(String args[])
          if(a>b)
               System.out.println(a);
          else
               System.out.println(b);
That was like 15 minutes later. There's no way (okay, there is, but...) that you would recommend the iffing and the elsing over Math.max/min/whatever. Or over just using the ternary operator...
The API is a wonderful thing. It prevents the same lines of code being written ad infinitum.
Live it. Learn it. Love it.

  • Function to find the greatest of two numbers

    Hi All
    In the rtf template, is there any function to find the greatest between two numbers?
    Please help
    Thanks in Advance

    Just like SQL, use the GREATEST function. List of comparable SQL functions is shown on or about page 9-30 of user guide (depends on which version you have). Search on GREATEST and you'll find it.

  • How can I find the maximum of two enum values?

    I have a set of enum values (let's call then ONE, TWO, THREE.....). I want to find the larger of two of them. But max(ONE,THREE) gives a compile error as MAX isn't defined for type-safe enums. Fair enough.
    I also agree that one shouldn't be able to use arithmetic functions on enums.
    But as Enum implements Comparable, one can write a function which implements max and min, rather inefficiently I assume.
    Is there a better way of getting the max/min of an enum? And if not, can the Java team be persuaded to implement it?

    The first place you should look for ANY basic question about Java classes is the documentation.
    http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/Enum.html#compareTo(E)
    Why do you need a MAX method? You said you are only comparing TWO objects and you also say you know that 'Enum implements Comparable.
    So just compare the two enums. The Enum class supports the 'compareTo(E o)' method as the doc API shows.

    Problem is myTime & myTime1 is String Need to convert them into Time, Later use XLMOD Funtion.

    Induhar,
    As an addendum to this, I thought I'd add this in also: If you have two valid DateTime objects you might consider using a class which I put together a few years ago
    shown on a page of my website here.
    To use it, just instantiate with two DateTime objects (order doesn't matter, it'll figure it out) and you'll then have access to the public properties. For this example, I'm just showing the .ToString method:
    Option Strict On
    Option Explicit On
    Option Infer Off
    Public Class Form1
    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
    ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
    Handles MyBase.Load
    Dim date1 As DateTime = Now
    Dim date2 As DateTime = #1/1/1970 2:35:00 PM#
    Dim howOld As New Age(date1, date2)
    MessageBox.Show(howOld.ToString, "Age")
    Stop
    End Sub
    End Class
    I hope that helps, if not now then maybe at some point in the future. :)
    Still lost in code, just at a little higher level.
      Thanx frank, can use this in Future....

  • Three Numbers questions:how do you change the auto default background or fill color from white to another color to use in multiple succeeding operations?  what is the formula to express the ratio of two numbers as a percent?

    Numbers questioons:
    -how do I change the automatic default background fill color so it stays a non white color?
    -what is the formula to express the ratio of two numbers as a percentage?
    -how do I create a signal formula to be sue against an entire column of data (for example, if I wanted to multiply the each cell in the column by the number 10)?
    -I have created a spreadsheet in Numbers with header and rows labelled and it contains formulas as well.  I now want to create a new 'blank' of this template with same header and row names and formulas, but without the cell entries from my earlier exerciser so I can use again in the future. How do I do this?

    Hi Matt,
    For short columns, the easiest method is to select the cell containing the formula, then grab the fill handle (small circle at the botom right of the selected cell) and drag down.
    For long columns, use either Jerry's suggestion (copy/paste) or Insert > Fill > Fill Down.
    Copy/Paste:
    Select the cell containing the formula. Copy
    Select from the cell containing teh formula to the end of the column. Paste.
    Fill Down:
    After entering the formula, and pressing enter...
    Click on the column reference tab to select the whole column.
    Command click on each cell above the one containing the formula to remove it from the selection.
    When cell with the formula is the top cell in the selection, go Insert > Fill > Fill Down.
    Pick whichever is easiest.

  • Find the difference in Two Tabels in two different schema?

    Hello Gurus,
    In DB which have millions of records -
    I have a Tabel A under Schema A and i have another Tabel B under Schema B and i have to pick the refrence from Tabel C under Schedma B altough my DB is same. Both of the tables (Table A and Table B) have exatly the same structure in both the schema and when i tried finding the difference like -
    Find the refrence from Table C and pick the values which are in Tabel A under Schema A but which are not present in the Tabel B under Schema B .
    I have to compare each and ever field value which is present under all of the columns under Table A to ever field value which is present under all of the columns under Table B.
    then wrote the following query-
    SELECT * FROM
    SchemaA.Table A t1,SchemaB.Table C t2
    WHERE t1.SV_ID = t2.SV_ID order by t1.SV_ID
    Minus
    Select * from SchemaB.TableB order by SV_ID
    Then this query is not working. And display the following error -
    "query block has incorrect number of result columns"
    Even both of the tables have the same column's and same structure.
    Kindly help me .
    Looking forward for some guidance -
    Thanks in advance.

    1-There are some 70 Columns in both of the tables so thats why i don't want to use the query based on columns as it will involve writing all of the columns.
    2- By using the query something like -
    select <column_name(s)> from table1
    minus
    select <column_name(s)> from table2, table1
    where <condition>
    It is throwing the error -ORA-01789: query block has incorrect number of result columns
    3- Using the query
    SELECT t1.*
    FROM SchemaA.TableA t1,SchemaB.TableC t2
    WHERE t1.SV_ID = t2.SV_ID
    MINUS
    SELECT t3.*
    FROM SchemaB.TableB t3
    order by SV_ID
    It gives me the reuslt but when i corss check them individually in both of the tables then there is no difference.
    4- SELECT t1.* FROM
    SchemaA.Table A t1,SchemaB.Table C t2
    WHERE t1.SV_ID = t2.SV_ID order by t1.SV_ID
    Minus
    Select * from SchemaB.TableB order by SV_ID
    Query is not working.
    Kindly help me to find the difference between two tables , column by column based on the condition both of the tables have the same SV_ID.

    Can someone verify the following regarding Find My Phone:
      I assume the lost device (iPhone) and the device (ipad) one uses to find the lost item must have identical Apple IDs , PWs as well as identical iCloud identification?

    Back now.  Are you saying that you entered you iCloud ID and password in the Find My iPhone app (see photo below), and it said you don't have an iCloud account?  Are you sure this is the ID for your iCloud account (check Settings>iCloud next to Account at the top on the device you are trying to track)?
    Also, did you try using this ID and password on icloud.com on your computer to try to track it, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f2442?  Did that work?

  • Find the difference between two dates for the specific month and year

    Hi,
    I have two dates, start date is 30/12/2012 and end date is 04/01/2013. Using datediff I found the difference of days between two dates. But I find the no of days in January 2013. ie output is 4 instead of 6. I input month and year to find the no of days
    for that date. In this case I input Jan 2013. How can I sql this ?

    I don't understand how most of the answers provided here not analytically solving the problem with many cases possible.
    First let me understand you:
    You have 2 dates range and you want to calculate day range for specific month and year between the original date range.
    declare @for_month int = 1 --January
    declare @for_year int = 2013
    declare @StartDate date = '2012-12-20'
    declare @EndDate date = '2013-01-04'
    SELECT
    CASE
    WHEN (DATEPART(MONTH, @StartDate) = @for_month and DATEPART(MONTH, @EndDate) = @for_month) and ((DATEPART(YEAR, @StartDate) = @for_year or DATEPART(YEAR, @EndDate) = @for_year)) THEN
    DATEDIFF(DAY, @StartDate,@EndDate)
    WHEN (@StartDate < cast(CONVERT(varchar(4), @for_year) + '-' + CONVERT(varchar(2), @for_month) + '-01' as date)) and (@EndDate between (cast(CONVERT(varchar(4), @for_year) + '-' + CONVERT(varchar(2), @for_month) + '-01' as date)) and (cast(DATEADD(d, -1, DATEADD(m, DATEDIFF(m, 0, cast( CONVERT(varchar(4), @for_year) + '-' + CONVERT(varchar(2), @for_month) + '-01' as date)) + 1, 0)) as date))) THEN
    DATEDIFF(DAY, DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, -1, @EndDate)-1, 0),@EndDate)
    WHEN (@EndDate > cast(DATEADD(d, -1, DATEADD(m, DATEDIFF(m, 0, cast( CONVERT(varchar(4), @for_year) + '-' + CONVERT(varchar(2), @for_month) + '-01' as date)) + 1, 0)) as date)) and (@StartDate between (cast(CONVERT(varchar(4), @for_year) + '-' + CONVERT(varchar(2), @for_month) + '-01' as date)) and (cast(DATEADD(d, -1, DATEADD(m, DATEDIFF(m, 0, cast( CONVERT(varchar(4), @for_year) + '-' + CONVERT(varchar(2), @for_month) + '-01' as date)) + 1, 0)) as date))) THEN
    DATEDIFF(DAY, @StartDate,DATEADD(d, -1, DATEADD(m, DATEDIFF(m, 0, @StartDate) + 1, 0))) + 1
    WHEN ((DATEDIFF(DAY, @StartDate, cast(DATEADD(d, -1, DATEADD(m, DATEDIFF(m, 0, cast( CONVERT(varchar(4), @for_year) + '-' + CONVERT(varchar(2), @for_month) + '-01' as date)) + 1, 0)) as date)) >= 0) and (DATEDIFF(DAY, cast(CONVERT(varchar(4), @for_year) + '-' + CONVERT(varchar(2), @for_month) + '-01' as date), @EndDate) >= 0)) THEN
    DATEDIFF(DAY, cast( CONVERT(varchar(4), @for_year) + '-' + CONVERT(varchar(2), @for_month) + '-01' as datetime), DATEADD(d, -1, DATEADD(m, DATEDIFF(m, 0, cast( CONVERT(varchar(4), @for_year) + '-' + CONVERT(varchar(2), @for_month) + '-01' as datetime)) + 1, 0))) + 1
    ELSE
    0
    END as [DD]
    I don't know how you calculate day range between 01/01/2013 and 04/01/2013
    is 4, it is actually is 3 but if that is the case, you can add 1 from the condition.

  • How to find the difference of two columns in deski

    Hi Everyone,
    I have a deski report which is build from a single query. The report contains two tables.
    Table-1:MTK Loc
               MTKnet
    Table-2:WTK Loc
                WTKnet
    Now i need to find the difference of the columns WTKnet and MTKnet.
    These two are report level variables.Their definitins are as  below:
    MTKnet:=Sum((<Fees Collected by Per Collected>) In Body) ForEach <vMTKLocation>
    WTKnet:=Sum((<Fees Collected by Per Collected>) In Body) ForEach <vWTKLocation>
    Where <Fees Collected by Per Collected> is universe variable.
    Please help...
    Thanks in Advance......

    Hi Bol,
    As I understand you are taking MTK_Loc and WTK_Loc together in  the report which have common values under Fees Collected by Per Collected  column.
    Please follow the steps mentioned below:
    1.  Calculate the Variables MTK_Net as
           =Sum(<Fees>) IN <MTK_Loc>
    2.  Calculate the Variables WTK_Net as
           =Sum(<Fees>) IN <WTK_Loc>
    3. You will get the values based on the Locations MTK_Loc and WTK_Loc .
    You are using combination of values for MTK_Loc and WTK_Loc hence you will get the variable values in combination.
    Insert new column right to the WTK_Net and  write the formula name it Variance.
    =<MTK_Net>- <WTK_Net>
    The values look like :
    MTK_Loc      WTK_Loc             MTK_Net                 WTK_Net             Variance
    Chicago           Chicago                16,696,274.43      157,168.26            16,539,106.17
    Chicago           Madison               16,696,274.43       274,396.12            16,421,878.31
    Chicago           Milvaki                 16,696,274.43       16,622,870.97       73,403.46
    Chicago           Pennsylvania        16,696,274.43        4,299.35               16,691,975.08
    Chicago           Waukesha             16,696,274.43        22,067.08             16,674,207.35
    Here you will see values for MTK_Net are repeated because these are based on the MTK_Loc which is same for all rows i.e. Chicago , same is the case with remaining values of MTK_Loc.
    We can not calculate variabnce based on the values like Canada,Pennsylvania for all values as these values come in combination of each other and as these are all connected columns WEBI groups  Measure data based on the Dimension  and variable columns associated with it.
    MTK_Loc   WTK_Loc          MTK_Net         WTK_Net          Variance.
    Chicago        Chicago           16696274.43        157168.26           16539106.17
    However you can compare the values based on the values  as :
    1. Drag and Drop MTK_Loc and MTK_Loc separately on the report.
    2. Drag and Drop WTK_Loc and WTK_Loc separately and put it on the report, Connect it to the columns MTK_Loc and MTK_Loc columns already dragged. Then you can compare the values
    MTK_Loc                MTK_Net                         WTK_LOC                    WTK_Net
    Chicago                    16,696,274.43                 Chicago                       157,168.26

    Here I unchecked the option avoid duplicate row aggregation (select table-> format table) thatu2019s why it is showing all values as a  sum of all MTK_Net and WTK_Net values corresponding to Location values..
    Here we are using MTK_Loc and WTK_Loc separately and not connected because though values seems same but they are used in combination ( Chicago, Pennsylvania)  in 2 separate tables in DB hence we canu2019t synchronize them by liking these 2 location columns using 2 data providers.
    I Hope this is what you want....

  • Finding the data between two different substrings in a string

    Hey guys-
    This is probably really easy for someone...I can't figure it out with CF.  I've searched a bunch but haven't found exactly what I'm looking for.
    I'm searching a HTML document with Coldfusion and need to pull some data from it.  Just as a quick example, somewhere in the HTML document there might be some code that looks like (this is obviously super simplified):
    <tr><td>Grand Total: </td></tr><tr><td>$1000.00</td> </tr>
    I need to do a couple of things.  1)  I need to capture the $1000.00 (this amount is dynamic, it will be different on every HTML doc) 2) I need to delete the whole row (or two rows in this example).
    I'm guessing it's something along the lines of setting " <tr><td>Grand Total:</td></tr><tr><td> " to a variable, then searching for everything after until it finds </td> and storing that as a variable.... and then for step two storing everything from the  <tr><td>Grand Total:</td></tr><tr><td> to the next </tr> as a variable, and then using Replace to take it out of the document.  I just dont know how to do the "capture everything from 1 pre-established variable to the next time the code has variable number 2 (in this case, either </td> or </tr>) part.
    Any thoughts or help would be so greatly appreciated!
    Thanks all!!

    Thanks ilssac...that's definitely helpful, as you said..mine is a little more complex as I need to find a pretty specific line of code and then find the next </td> after (actually, find all of the content between those two).
    Any other thoughts?  I KNOW someone else has done this.  Parsing out HTML documents to capture different pieces of info has to be relatively common....
    Thanks!
