Biggest Number

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next] [Date Index] [Thread Index]


Hi,
in C++ I often times use idioms like:
auto shortestDistance = std::numeric_limits<float>::max()
// …
for(auto item : list)
{	
	float dist = determineDistance(item);
	if(dist < shortestDistance)
	{
		// ...
		shortestDistance = dist;
	}
}
// …
After browsing for a while I could not find any similar constant to std::numeric_limits<float>::max() to get the biggest available number in lua. Is there one? If not, is there a reliable way to build my own function/constant?
Thanks,
Matthias
