ADDED Double sorry! I didn't realize I could go bask and modify my posts.

Really cool!

Sorry, didn't realize I needed tags...

Benchmark: timing 1000000 iterations of Grep, Max, Ternary...

Grep: 4 wallclock secs ( 3.61 usr + 0.01 sys = 3.62 CPU)

Max: 9 wallclock secs ( 8.47 usr + -0.01 sys = 8.46 CPU)

Ternary: 9 wallclock secs ( 8.51 usr + 0.02 sys = 8.53 CPU)

This is perl, version 5.005_03 built for i386-linux

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
