[c-prog] Getting Biggest number of two.

[Anup Joshi]

Hello friends,
  I wanted to find biggest number of given two numbers without using the 
loop statement, the if-conditional, or the ternary operator ?:. One way 
i could do this was with the following code:

int biggest(int a, int b) {
     int result;

     (a<b) && (result = b); // b is bigger
     (a>b) && (result =a); // a is bigger
     (a==b) && (result = a) // both are equal

     return result;
}

this code works for positive as well as negative ints.
i wanted to know if there was any other way to find the biggest number 
of the two, by using any other c operator or snippet.

Thanks & Regards :-)
