    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:

                  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.

                                    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;
                                    }

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

                                          Would that be an oxymoron or a case of irony? DeltaBurke and MinDelta? :omg:

                                          When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others. Same thing when you are stupid.
