Someone knows what is a "simple hold" function?

Well, some days ago, I was making an program to give the max value of 2 analog inputs. So I looked at the examples folder and find 1 example.

Basically you read the analog channel and compare with your predefined variable to see if it is bigger. Ok! It worked.

_BUT_ my teacher tell me to do it with another way. Since my analog input has 60Hz, so an entire cycle has 1.6ms. He told me to make a read of the analog channel 120 times per cycle. Ok, this is not a problem. But he wants that I take all the 120 values and store in a table and use a function called "simple hold" to find the bigger value. But I do not know with function is that.

Someone can help me?

thanks

Greetings !! I have not heard of a "simple hold" before. My best guess is something got lost in translation and the term was "sample and hold" -- see this wikipedia definition and see if that is what he is talking about.

I think he just meant a function that stores all the values in an array
for later comparison.
