Need a good name for an extension method

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.

I know there's Math.Min, but I want a fluent implementation, so just go with it

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:

The style here reflects my preference (ghost of Simonyi ?) for making "Type and Intent" salient at all times, and ... whenever possible ... writing functions that are multi-purpose. However, I'd only write such functions if I anticipated I might have a need to add some functionality to them; otherwise, they're just duplicating functions in .Math. And, yes, this style is not spicy. cheers, Bill

Hi, Marc, I am a little wary of extension methods on 'Int32 because of compiler error #CS0023

caused by an attempt to use/call the method on a negative integer; while this can be worked around by putting the negative value in parens; I find that tedious.

var x = -100.SomeExtension(10); // will not compile
var y = (-100).SomeExtension(10); // will compile
var z = 100.SomeExtension(10); // will compile

I regret to say this same error occurs in VS 2017, using the latest FrameWork version.

I assume this is an operator execution precedence issue ?

I have not evaluated whether this error occurs with other numeric Types; I hypothesize it will.

cheers, Bill
