    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

              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

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

                  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;
                                    }

                                    Suggestions? Humor? Marc

                                          FMI, what's not fluent about Math.Min? Or is that a fancy way of saying you wan to be able to chain it?
