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

try this, (but be aware for overflows) (Code in C#)

    public static Int32 Maximum(params Int32[] values)
    {
        Int32 retVal = Int32.MinValue;
        foreach (Int32 i in values)
            retVal += (((i - retVal) >> 31) & (i - retVal));
        return retVal;        
    }
