weird stuffs

hi there
i have an asp script that reads a text file and loads it in a several arrays then
i operate with them. Some of the operation is taking the maximum and minimum
in the example arr is a arr(4,8)

[code]
function getMax(d)
t= arr(d,0)
for i=1 to ubound(arr,2)
a=arr(d,i)
if a > t then t=a
next
getMax = t
end function
^=== that works fine

function getMin(d)
t= arr(d,0)
for i=1 to ubound(arr,2)
a=arr(d,i)
if a < t then t=a
next
getMin = t
end function

response.write(getMin(3))

returns nothing! but if i change the '<' for '>' it works!!
i put a response.write between the 'for..next' and works but when
exits the loop the value of the variable 't' seem to disapear

if "greater than" works, but you want "less than", say:

if a > t then 
   'nothing here
elseif a = t then
   'still nothing
else
   t = a
end if
 

I'm not sure what this would tell you, there must be some other reason it isn't recognizing your logic, and I don't see a problem in the code you posted. I assume you've checked the values passed as you debugged. Is the text correctly being understood as an integer? Try assigning the variable to an integer before you populate it.

function getMin(d)
    t=1
        t= arr(d,0)
        'etc
 

If that is the problem, this will either cause an error along the lines of incorrect variable type, or magically solve the problem.
