C# check which integer is higher

Question

I have two integers, int1 and int2. I want to check which one is the higher one. How can I do this the best? Is there an C#.NET function for this or do I have to write it myself?

Ofcource I can do something similar to this:

if (int1 < int2)
    return int1;
else
    return int2;

But I was wondering if there is a more elegant way for doing this?

Answer 1

Math.Max

Usage:

int highest = Math.Max(int1, int2);

It's overloaded for all numeric types.
