Question

Hey just curious is there a function that you can use to divide in “the right order”, so that the dividend is always the larger number? Currently I do this

x=5
y=10
z=0

if x>y{
z = x/y
}else{
z = y/x
}

I was just wondering if there was a function I could use to do this in one line, like

MakeSureDividendBigger(x/y)

type thing.

Thanks

Javascript:

var z = Math.max(x, y) / Math.min(x, y);

Or a function:

function divideNice(x, y) {
    return Math.max(x, y) / Math.min(x, y);
}

var z = divideNice(x, y);

PHP:

$z = max($x, $y) / min($x, $y)
