✅ dumb question involving Math.Max

Given that a and b are 32-bit integers within the range of -100 to 100, this should always return True right?

int first = a < b ? 0 : a - b;
int second = Math.Max(a - b, 0);
return first == second;

my brain's scrambled and i'm up way too late, that's my problem

yeah ... no exception. what the heck

for (int a = -100; a < 100; a++)
    for (int b = -100; b < 100; b++)
        if ((a < b ? 0 : a - b) != Math.Max(a - b, 0))
            throw new Exception();

why would this throw an exception? you just said yourself that they should always be equal

so they're never not equal. which is what you're testing for

yeah i was getting a result that looked crazy but it turns out i just needed to change an X to a Z in a different place 🙂

how i delete this

i got it figured out, it wasn't this
