I need to find a minimum of three float values.. what would be the most
efficient way of doing this? Can someone please share some code with me
for doing this? Thanks

Sona,
Have you looked at System.Math.Min for finding the minimum of two values.
Using the result of the min of two of the values with the third will give
you the minimum of all three.

Hope this helps

Assuming that the three variables are a, b and c you could simply do the
following:
float minimumValue = Math.Min( Math.Min( a, b ), c );

Its not horribly inefficient. Probably doing the comparisons yourself would
be a bit faster -- maybe.

Click to expand...

float min = a;

if (b < min)
{
min = b;
}

if (c < min)
{
min = c;
}

....is probably as efficient as you will get. Any takers on a more efficient
way? :)
