Ooh, I like that! :) Marc

Ah, I think we have a winner! Marc

Rules for playing Javascript frameworks. 1. You can't win. 2. You can't break even. 3. You can't get out of the game.

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:

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.

public enum Int32CompareResult

Equal,

public static class Int32Extensions

    public static int I32Min(this int i, int limit)
    {
        return I32Compare(i, limit) == Int32CompareResult.LessThan
            ? i
            : limit;

    public static Int32CompareResult I32Compare(this int i1, int i2)
    {
        return i1 == i2 
            ? Int32CompareResult.Equal
            : i1 < 12
                ? Int32CompareResult.LessThan
                : Int32CompareResult.GreaterThan;
    }
}

}

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
