Search in a array for a negative number and replace with a zero

[LVdummies]

Hello,

I want to search in a array  (double 64-bit)  for a negative number/s and replace it with a zero.

I would use In Range and Coerce and coerce the array to between 0 and +Inf.

If you don't like that suggestion (I personally do), you can always use the same brute force method used in every other programming language.

Probably the quickest option in this case 😉

That's clever!

I ran a benchmark on that vs the coerce method and MaxMin is about 13x faster. Kudos!

I was curious about the time too and found it was about 20x faster using the max min. I also found that the brute force method was about 6x faster than in range and coerce.

What the heck, I always assumed that VI must be faster than brute... Maybe it's best with some datatypes? Weird.

Sorry, I meant that the brute force is about 2x faster than in range and coerce. And the advantage does appear to go away when using I32 datatype.
