In our wealthy and materialistic society, Christians often tend to trivialize covetousness, but Paul calls it idolatry, and lists it as one of a number of sins that are bringing the wrath of God “upon the sons of disobedience” (Colossians 3:5-6). Concerning the love (or coveting) of money, Paul told Timothy that it was a “root of all kinds of evil” (1 Timothy 6:10). John was speaking of covetousness when he wrote, “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him” (1 John 2:15). “Do not be deceived,” Paul wrote to the church at Corinth. No covetous person “will inherit the kingdom of God” (1 Corinthians 6:9-10) (Jim Elliff and Daryl Wingerd).

Back to Rich's original post in this thread he asked:


The following works in Objective-C

But how is this done in FutureBasic? (without using a C Function)

NSArray *unsortedArray = @[ @2, @44, @11, @99, @35 ];

NSNumber *maxNumber = [unsortedArray valueForKeyPath:@"@max.self"];

NSLog(@"%@", maxNumber); // 99

Here's the answer, I just wish I could claim this as my own. 😀

We took the long way around to get here, but it was fun!

Ken

include "NSLog.incl"

local fn DoIt
CFArrayRef unsortedArray = @[@2,@44,@99,@35]
CFNumberRef maxNumber = fn ObjectValueForKeyPath( (ObjectRef)unsortedArray, @"@max.self" )
NSLog(@"%@",maxNumber)
end fn

fn DoIt
