    A basic extension method to implement min (yes, I know there's Math.Min, but I want a fluent implementation, so just go with it):

    public static int Min(this int a, int max)
    {
    return (a > max) ? max : a;
    }

    But what would be a good name for this (which I've tentatively named "MinDelta":

    public static int MinDelta(this int a, int delta)
    {
    return a > a + delta ? a + delta : a;
    }

    Suggestions? Humor? Marc

                            Yeah, I though about something like AddIfNegative but it's too long. ;) Marc

                                  A basic extension method to implement min (yes, I know there's Math.Min, but I want a fluent implementation, so just go with it):

                                  public static int Min(this int a, int max)

                                  }

                                  But what would be a good name for this (which I've tentatively named "MinDelta":

                                      I prefer his approach and would call it DeltaOffset.

                                        That changes the behaviour of the code. ;P

                                        int x = int.MinValue.MinDelta(-1); // -2147483648
                                        int y = int.MinValue.AddIfNegative(-1); // 2147483647
