How to write min(a,b) instead of Math.min(a,b)

[juergen]

I believe I had read somewhere how to do this but I cannot remember how
to do it.
I tried
import java.lang.Math;
or
import java.lang.Math.*;
but it doesn't work. Could someone help me? Thnx!

import static java.lang.Math.min;

 

[=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Arne_Vajh=F8j?=]

> import static java.lang.Math.min;

And it requires Java 1.5 or newer.

The point is the static keyword. The * works with static too.

If you want to be able to write "min(a,b)" you can make a class method
named min that invokes Math.min(a,b). ... Works in every jdk

static private int min(int a, int b) {
return Math.min(a,b);
}
