Mathematically Find Max Value without Conditional Comparison

Question

----------Updated ------------

codymanix and moonshadow have been a big help thus far. I was able to solve my problem using the equations and instead of using right

Answer 1

finding the maximum of 2 variables:

max = a-((a-b)&((a-b)>>31))

where >> is bitwise right-shift (also called SHR or ASR depeding on signedness).

Instead of 31 you use the number of bits your numbers have minus one.
