Enumerable.Min Method (IEnumerable<Double>)

.NET Framework 4

Other Versions

Returns the minimum value in a sequence of Double values.

Namespace: System.Linq
Assembly: System.Core (in System.Core.dll)

Syntax

C++

Copy

public static double Min(
	this IEnumerable<double> source
)

Parameters

source: Type: System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<Double>
A sequence of Double values to determine the minimum value of.

Return Value

Type: System.Double
The minimum value in the sequence.

Usage Note

In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type IEnumerable<Double>. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter. For more information, see Extension Methods (Visual Basic) or Extension Methods (C# Programming Guide).

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	source is null.
InvalidOperationException	source contains no elements.

Remarks

The Min(IEnumerable<Double>) method uses the Double implementation of IComparable<T> to compare values.

In Visual Basic query expression syntax, an Aggregate Into Min() clause translates to an invocation of Min.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use Min(IEnumerable<Double>) to determine the minimum value in a sequence.

Copy


            double[] doubles = { 1.5E+104, 9E+103, -2E+103 };

            double min = doubles.Min();

            Console.WriteLine("The smallest number is {0}.", min);

            /*
             This code produces the following output:

             The smallest number is -2E+103.
            */
