I use sort to give the max of an array something like this ----- my @z = qw(12 24 67 89 77 91 44 5 10); my $max = ((reverse sort{$a <=> $b} (@z))[0]); print "MAX = $max\n"; -----------
but when I am interested only in a single max value, I need not sort the entire array Is there a more efficient alternative to this PS: Posts via nntp to nntp.perl.org appear after a long time Is there a more preferred way of posting here Thanks Ram -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
