Find a Nth highest or lowest number in a given series of numbers - Solution4

Suppose we have a collection of numbers (+ve, -ve, fractional) and we need to find out the MAX and MIN from that. The below code will help to do so

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        { 

		List<double> lstNumbers = new List<double>() { 1, 2.06, 34, -4, 5.90, 61.9, 7.8, 8, 9, 18.0,23.7 }; 
		double minNum = lstNumbers.OrderBy(o => o).Take(1).Single();
		double maxNum = lstNumbers.OrderByDescending(o => o).Take(1).Single();
		Console.WriteLine("Min = {0} , Max = {1}", minNum, maxNum); 
		Console.ReadKey(true);
        }
    }
} 

Here we are using Using Take and Single Extension methods of Enumerable Class that resides under the namespace System.Linq to accomplish the operation.

Hope this will be helpful.
