Gapotchenko.FX.Math 2022.1.4

Overview

The module provides extended math primitives.

MathEx

MathEx is a class provided by Gapotchenko.FX.Math. It offers extended mathematical functions, and serves as an addendum to a conventional System.Math class.

Swap

The swap operation is a widely demanded primitive:

Swap<T>(ref T val1, ref T val2)

Its implementation is trivial, but was found highly desired during real-life coding sessions. Swap primitive allows to keep a mind of developer more focused on important things, instead of writing tedious code like:

T temp = val1;
val1 = val2;
val2 = temp;

For comparison, please take a look at a concise version of the same:

MathEx.Swap(ref val1, ref val2);

An immediate improvement in readability.

Min/Max for Three Values

The conventional Math class provides ubiquitous Min/Max primitives for two values.

However, such a limitation on number of values was proven counter-productive on more than several occasions. MathEx fixes that by providing Min/Max operations for three values:

using Gapotchenko.FX.Math;

Console.WriteLine(MathEx.Max(1, 2, 3));

Min/Max for Any Comparable Type

Ever found yourself trying to find the maximum System.DateTime value? Or System.Version?

MathEx provides Min/Max operations for any comparable type:

using Gapotchenko.FX.Math;

var currentProgress = new DateTime(2012, 1, 1);
var desiredProgress = new DateTime(2019, 1, 1);

var fxProgress = MathEx.Max(currentProgress, desiredProgress);
Console.WriteLine(fxProgress);
