Hi all,

I've been trying, unsuccessfully, to extricate the numerical value of the fMax function, and I'm hoping someone can help me.

For instance, if I type fmax(sin(x),x,0,π) I get an output of:

{MaxValue=1,x=π/2}

Is there any way for me to assign just the numerical value of MaxValue to some letter?

Any suggestions are appreciated!

Hi.

fmax returns a list so you can use standard list functions on it. Assuming the list is stored in ans, you can retrieve its first element using ans[ 1 ] which wiil be MaxValue=1. Then use GetRight( ans[ 1 ] ) to get the right side of the equality which will give you 1. So in short you could do:

fmax(sin(x),x,0,π) A
GetRight( A[ 1 ] ) value

Now value contains 1.

MicroPro,

I had temporarily given up on the project that I needed this for, so had not been checking the thread, but a big (belated) thank you to you for helping me out with this.
