min

----------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 shift I divided by 29. Because with 32bits signed 2^31 = overflows to 29. Which works! Prototype in PHP $r = $x - (($x - $y) & (($x - $y) / (29))); Actual code for LEADS (you can only do one math function PER LINE!!! AHHHH!!!) DERIVDE1 = IMAGE1 - IMAGE2; DERIVED2 = DERIVED1 / 29; DERIVED3 = DERIVED1 AND DERIVED2; MAX = IMAGE1 - DERIVED3; ----------Original Question----------- I don't think this is quite possible with my application

I'm trying to set up a linear program in which the objective function adds extra weight to the max out of the decision variables multiplied by their respective coefficients. With this in mind, is there a way to use min or max operators within the objective function of a linear program? Example: Minimize (c1 * x1) + (c2 * x2) + (c3 * x3) + (c4 * max(c1*x1, c2*x2, c3*x3)) subject to #some arbitrary integer constraints: x1 >= ... x1 + 2*x2 <= ... x3 >= ... x1 + x3 == ... Note that (c4 * max(c1*x1, c2*x2, c3*x3)) is the "extra weight" term that I'm concerned about. We let c4 denote the "extra

I have an array with the following format: Array ( [0] => Array ( [DateTime] => "2013-05-22 14:21:01" [Price] => 102.01 ) [1] => Array ( [DateTime] => "2013-05-23 15:55:01" [Price] => 52.60 ) [2] => Array ( [DateTime] => "2013-05-25 14:23:01" [Price] => 452.25 ) ... etc ) I need to discover the lowest and highest value of Price . min only returns they key. I've also tried max(array_map("max", $data)) but that only returns 452.25 . Will I have to use a foreach and do it manually? Here's one way to get the min and max values: $min = min(array_column($array, 'Price')); $max = max(array_column(

I want to return the number as long as it falls within a limit, else return the maximum or minimum value of the limit. I can do this with a combination of Math.min and Math.max . public int limit(int value) { return Math.max(0, Math.min(value, 10)); } I'm wondering if there's an existing limit or range function I'm overlooking. 3rd party libraries welcome if they are pretty common (eg: Commons or Guava) As of version 21, Guava includes Ints.constrainToRange() (and equivalent methods for the other primitives). From the release notes : added constrainToRange([type] value, [type] min, [type] max)

At time 0:43:15 in this Tech-Talk about D , The implementation of the min function is discussed. Concerns about "stability" and "extra shuffling (if values are equal)" when being used in some algorithm(s) is proposed as one of the reasons for the implementation shown. Can anyone provide a real/practical use-case (or provide a more detailed explanation) where this specific implementation of min is "stable" (aka better) as opposed to its other possible implementation? Or is this just another example of alpha-geeks going a bit too far? Recommended implementation: template <class LHS, class RHS,
