Hi, I was wondering if you have the answer to my scripting question....
For thinkscript.
So I have several different defs,
and I want the one with highest value to be defined in another one...
def a = if true 1 else 0
def b = if true 2 else 0
def c = if true 3 else 0
def d = if true 4 else 0

def result = max(a b c d)

at this point we would get d because its got the highest value... as you know thinkscript will only do this with 2 values.
anyway you would know a workaround? Thanks.

Code

max(max(max(a,b),c),d);

growex 

)   Code max(max(max(a,b),c),d);

Thanks growex, that answered my question. Only thing now, as we got D, how do I get the actual value for D? the def of D was given... but I didn't know the value would not be given. I wanted the number instead in this case we can see that the THEN value is 4. That is what I want...... the then part.
Thanks in advance!

def a = if true 1 else 0
def b = if true 2 else 0
def c = if true 3 else 0
def d = if true 4 else 0
def result = max(max(max(a,b),c),d);
the value of "result" variable will be 4, not "D";



just for information....to assign text values use ""
def a = "a";
def a = "/es"


also if you want to name your variables such as 1a,1b,1c (name starts witn a number) use "" also

def "1a" = 16434656;
