double BaseNumber = 27;

double Z1 = 25;
double Z2 = 12;
double Z3 = 8;
double Z4 = 26;
double Z5 = 35;
double Z6 = 40;

I have a collection of Z doubles, and want to find out what the next greater number to the BaseNumber is, how do I do this?
In this case the next number to 27 in Z collection would be 35.
How do I extract that number?

Thanks in advance.

Something like this :

 

Code

using System.Collection.Generic, double Z1 = 25; double Z2 = 12; double Z3 = 8; double Z4 = 26; double Z5 = 35; double Z6 = 40 double BaseNumber = 27; Print(Biggest(Z1,Z2,Z3,Z4,Z5,Z6, BaseNumber)); double Biggest (double Z1,double Z2, double Z3, double Z4, double Z5, double Z6, double myNumber) { List <double> myList = new List <double>(); myList.Add(Z1); myList.Add(Z2); myList.Add(Z3); myList.Add(Z4); myList.Add(Z5); myList.Add(Z6); myList.Sort(); foreach (double myZ in myList) { if (myZ > myNYmber) return myZ; } return (0.0); }

the function needs to be outside the other function
you will need to study a few hours on functions/ basics...
classes, members, methods

This seems a lot more difficult than I imagined. Thank you for trying.
