[Request]: MinMax for built-in numeric types

[oliverbooth]

Type to extend

System.Collection.Generic.Enumerable

Signature

(T Minimum, T Maximum) MinMax<T>()

Summary

Returns the minimum and maximum values contained in the current collection of ____.

Parameters

n/a

Benefits

• Allows retrieval of LINQ's equivalent Min() and Max(), in a single method call to prevent multiple enumeration

Drawbacks

• Forces enumeration of the enumerable source at least once

Implementation Example

var minValue = T.MaxValue;
var maxValue = T.MinValue;

foreach (T item in source)
{
    if (item < minValue)
    {
        minValue = item;
    }

    if (item > maxValue)
    {
        maxValue = item;
    }
}

return (minValue, maxValue)
