c++ - More concise way to write the following statement -

is there more concise way write following c++ statements:

int max = 0;  int u = up(); if(u > max) {  max = u; }  int d = down(); if(d > max) { max = d; }  int r = right(); max = r > max ? r : max;   

specifically there way embed assignment of functions return inside if statement/ternary operator?

assuming that:

• the idea remove local variables (i.e. don't need u, d, r later on)
• evaluation order doesn't matter

... can use std::max:

int m = max(max(max(0, up()), down()), right()); 

if return value of function:

return max(max(max(0, up()), down()), right()); 

note that can evaluate functions in order, rather string up, down, right order in original code.
