Other Aggregate Functions You Can Apply to Numeric Arrays

Post #147 mentioned using IEnumerable.Average to get the average of an array of numeric values.  The System.Linqnamespace includes several other extension methods for IEnumerable that can be used to aggregate values:

• Max – Get the maximum value
• Min – Get the minimum value
• Sum – Get the sum of all values

1 2 3 4 5

int[] scores = { 89, 98, 72, 100, 83 }; int sum = scores.Sum();        // 442 int min = scores.Min();        // 72 int max = scores.Max();        // 100 double avg = scores.Average();       // 88.4
