Where are in Phobos the max and min for integers?

Thanks, Paolo

Or if you mean the other max/min ... template supertype(T...) { static assert (T.length); static if (T.length==1) alias T[0] supertype; else static if (T.length==2) alias typeof(T[0].init+T[1].init) supertype; else alias supertype!( typeof(T[0].init+T[1].init), T[2..$] ) supertype; } supertype!(T) max(T...)(T t) { static assert(T.length); supertype!(T) res=t[0]; foreach (v; t[1..$]) if (v>res) res=v; return res; } supertype!(T) min(T...)(T t) { static assert(T.length); supertype!(T) res=t[0]; foreach (v; t[1..$]) if (v<res) res=v; return res; } That should work. Have fun! --downs

God! It's an overkill!

There's not in Phobos something like fmin fmax but for integers? Or must 
I always convert the result back from real?

Cheers, Paolo

(a) If you're talking about the maximum and minimum values an int can take on, they are named int.max and int.min. (b) If you're talking about functions max(a,b) and min(a,b) that return the max and min of their arguments, see Downs' post, which is a bit overkill if you just want it on numeric types, but will (I think) do lexicographic comparison for string and array types. If you just want to use it with numeric types (or types that have opCmp), this will do: T min(T) (T a, T b) { return (a < b) ? a : b; } T max(T) (T a, T b) { return (a > b) ? a : b; } Thanks, Nathan

Actually, it only works with numbers. Most of the complicated-looking code just determines the type that can hold all possible results (that's what the supertype stuff is for). That's also the reason it won't work with strings and arrays - they don't define "+". Sorry. ^^ But yeah, it is a bit overkill. Gets handy when you want to min/max more than two values of different types. --downs

Natan,
I'm talking about the (b) case, sorry for the confusion.
I know I can use a template, I'm just wondering if THAT template was in 
some Phobos module, as I cannot find it!
I'm already including std.math, so I was only wondering why...

Cheers, Paolo

Nope, crazy as it may seem it's not there. There's also no standard swap() function like: void swap(T)(ref T a, ref T b) { T tmp = a; a = b; b = tmp; } --bb

Thanks Steven,
I know the ternary operator, and that's good for simple variable 
comparison, but if you use it in complex expressions, say also more than 
one times, sometimes it's not so readable as plain old min/max.
