C# Enumerable Min(IEnumerable)
Description
Returns the minimum value in a generic sequence.
Syntax
public static TSource Min<TSource>(
this IEnumerable<TSource> source
)
Parameters
TSource- The type of the elements of source.source- A sequence of values to determine the minimum value of.
Returns
Returns the minimum value in a generic sequence.
Example
The following code example demonstrates how to use Min to determine the minimum value in a sequence of IComparable objects.
//from w w w .jav a 2 s. c o m
using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Collections.Generic;
public class MainClass{
public static void Main(String[] argv){
Pet[] pets = { new Pet { Name="Barley", Age=8 },
new Pet { Name="Boots", Age=4 },
new Pet { Name="Whiskers", Age=1 } };
Pet min = pets.Min();
Console.WriteLine(min.Name);
}
}
class Pet : IComparable<Pet>
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public int Age { get; set; }
int IComparable<Pet>.CompareTo(Pet other)
{
if (other.Age > this.Age)
return -1;
else if (other.Age == this.Age)
return 0;
else
return 1;
}
}
The code above generates the following result.
