Min

Lambda Query

Min: Finds the smallest value in a collection.

Min: Finds the smallest value in a collection.

This Lambda Expression sample finds the lowest number in array.

This Lambda Expression sample finds the lowest number in array.

  • C#
  • VB.Net
  • F#
// A Query Expression cannot be constructed for Min() in C#.
// Consider using a Lambda Expression instead.
Private Shared Sub Sample_Min_Linq()
    Dim numbers As Integer() = {6, 9, 3, 7, 5}

    Dim result = Aggregate n In numbers Into Min()

    Debug.WriteLine("Lowest number is:")
    Debug.WriteLine(result)
End Sub
Output:
Lowest number is:
3
// There is no Min() for Query Expressions in F#, but it has the similar "minBy".
let Sample_Min_Linq() =
    let numbers = [|6; 9; 3; 7; 5|]

    let result = query {
        for n in numbers do
        minBy n
    }

    Debug.WriteLine(sprintf "Lowest number is:")
    Debug.WriteLine(sprintf "%d" result)
Output:
Lowest number is:
3
  • C#
  • VB.Net
  • F#
static void Sample_Min_Lambda()
{
    int[] numbers = { 6, 9, 3, 7, 5 };

    var result = numbers.Min();

    Debug.WriteLine("Lowest number is:");
    Debug.WriteLine(result);
}
Output:
Lowest number is:
3
Private Shared Sub Sample_Min_Lambda()
    Dim numbers As Integer() = {6, 9, 3, 7, 5}

    Dim result = numbers.Min()

End Sub
Output:
Lowest number is:

    let result = numbers.Min()

    Debug.WriteLine(sprintf "Lowest number is:")
    Debug.WriteLine(sprintf "%d" result)
Output:
Lowest number is:
3
