I've got this code 'snippet' that is giving me problems. Isn't max(val, 255) part of the <iostream> library? I get an error when I use it like this:
Says that 'max' : undeclared identifier ... andCode:val=max(min(val,0),255);
'min' : undeclared identifier
I've been looking at libraries to see if there is another I am supposed to include, but I haven't found anything helpful.

No, std::max and std::min are from <algorithm>Isn't max(val, 255) part of the <iostream> library?

OK, so I just added #include <algorithm> and I am still getting this error message....
Show the smallest and simplest program that demonstrates the error.
EDIT:
By the way, I think std::max(std::min(val, 0), 255) will always return 255.

Not a hundred percent sure here, but shouldn't you use std::max instead of just max? Or have you included the std namespace?

There is an error with VC++ 6.0 and maybe some other compilers and versions where max and min are #define'd symbols. That means they override any max and min function from <algorithm>. There is something you can define in your program so that it will work. It might beabove your includes, but I'm not sure on the details. If that doesn't work then your compiler and version would be helpful to know.Code:#define NO_MIN_MAX
Also, using std::max and std::min, even if you have a using namespace std in your code, can prevent name conflicts with other usages of max and min (that aren't #define symbols).
Will it do so if val is of type signed char?
There are 10 types of people in this world, those who cringed when reading the beginning of this sentence and those who salivated to how superior they are for understanding something as simple as binary.
It may not even compile due to mismatch of template parameter and arguments. My assumption is that val is of type int, but it may not be, which is why tms43 should have posted an example program.Will it do so if val is of type signed char?
