    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

      This stuff is already in the namespace Clifton.Core.ExtensionMethods but maybe I'll change that to Cliftonpolis! Marc

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

                    That changes the behaviour of the code. ;P

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

                                I must confess that I was inspired by some assembler commands like the Microchip decfsz (decrement file skip if zero).

                                  That changes the behaviour of the code. ;P

                                  You are off course right.

                                    I do a good bit of maintenance of assmembler code, and darn near all of the labels are beautifully cryptic like that. Switching back and forth between c++ and assmebler is a joy that way. :rolleyes:

                                      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;
                                      }

                                      Max - just to confuse everyone :laugh:

                                      Ah, I see you have the machine that goes ping. This is my favorite. You see we lease it back from the company we sold it to and that way it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account.
