Problem
I want to use
min(5,10), or Math.max(4,7). Are there functions to this effect in Ruby?Solution
.min[5, 10].min
.max[4, 7].max
They come from the Enumerable module, so anything that includes
Enumerable will have those methods available.v2.4 introduces own
Array#min and Array#max, which are way faster than Enumerable's methods because they skip calling #each..minmax@nicholasklick mentions another option,
Enumerable#minmax, but this time returning an array of [min, max].[4, 5, 7, 10].minmax
#=> [4, 10]
