To get the maximum of two numbers in Julia, you can use either the max function or the ternary operator >. The max function takes in two or more arguments, and returns the maximum value among them. Here's an example:
julia> max(4, 7)
7
julia> max(8.9, -3.2, 5.6)
8.9
Alternatively, you can use the ternary operator > to compare the two values, like so:
julia> 4 > 7 ? 4 : 7
7
This code checks whether 4 is greater than 7. Since this is not true, it returns the second value, which is 7. Here's an example using floating-point numbers:
julia> 8.9 > -3.2 ? 8.9 : -3.2
8.9
This code checks whether 8.9 is greater than -3.2. Since this is true, it returns the first value, which is 8.9.
To get the minimum of two numbers in Julia, you can use either the min function or the ternary operator <. The min function takes in two or more arguments, and returns the minimum value among them. Here's an example:
julia> min(4, 7)
4
julia> min(8.9, -3.2, 5.6)
-3.2
Alternatively, you can use the ternary operator < to compare the two values, like so:
julia> 4 < 7 ? 4 : 7
4
This code checks whether 4 is less than 7. Since this is true, it returns the first value, which is 4. Here's an example using floating-point numbers:
julia> 8.9 < -3.2 ? 8.9 : -3.2
-3.2
This code checks whether 8.9 is less than -3.2. Since this is not true, it returns the second value, which is -3.2.
