Another way of writting

[esokoletsky]

What would be another way of writing this?

  max(max(population1, population2), max(population3, population4))

[gunnerfunner]

it's clear and succinct enough as it is, why do you need another way? send some more context

// overload (3) http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/algorithm/max
const auto max_pop = std::max( { population1, population2, population3, population4 } ) ;

[chipp]

max (max (population1, max(population2, max (population3, population4))));

perhaps?
