我有一个具有Nullable DateOfBirth属性的Person对象。是否有一种方法可以使用LINQ来查询Person对象列表中最早/最小的DateOfBirth值?

这是我的开场白:

var firstBornDate = People.Min(p => p.DateOfBirth.GetValueOrDefault(DateTime.MaxValue));

Null DateOfBirth值被设置为DateTime。MaxValue,以便将它们排除在Min考虑之外(假设至少有一个具有指定的DOB)。

但是所有这些对我来说都是将firstBornDate设置为DateTime值。我想要的是与之匹配的Person对象。我是否需要像这样写第二个查询:

var firstBorn = People.Single(p=> (p.DateOfBirth ?? DateTime.MaxValue) == firstBornDate);

或者有没有更精简的方法?

另一种实现,可以使用可空的选择器键,如果没有找到合适的元素,则对于引用类型集合返回null。 例如,这对处理数据库结果很有帮助。

  public static class IEnumerableExtensions
  {
    /// <summary>
    /// Returns the element with the maximum value of a selector function.
    /// </summary>
    /// <typeparam name="TSource">The type of the elements of source.</typeparam>
    /// <typeparam name="TKey">The type of the key returned by keySelector.</typeparam>
    /// <param name="source">An IEnumerable collection values to determine the element with the maximum value of.</param>
    /// <param name="keySelector">A function to extract the key for each element.</param>
    /// <exception cref="System.ArgumentNullException">source or keySelector is null.</exception>
    /// <exception cref="System.InvalidOperationException">source contains no elements.</exception>
    /// <returns>The element in source with the maximum value of a selector function.</returns>
    public static TSource MaxBy<TSource, TKey>(this IEnumerable<TSource> source, Func<TSource, TKey> keySelector) => MaxOrMinBy(source, keySelector, 1);

    /// <summary>
    /// Returns the element with the minimum value of a selector function.
    /// </summary>
    /// <typeparam name="TSource">The type of the elements of source.</typeparam>
    /// <typeparam name="TKey">The type of the key returned by keySelector.</typeparam>
    /// <param name="source">An IEnumerable collection values to determine the element with the minimum value of.</param>
    /// <param name="keySelector">A function to extract the key for each element.</param>
    /// <exception cref="System.ArgumentNullException">source or keySelector is null.</exception>
    /// <exception cref="System.InvalidOperationException">source contains no elements.</exception>
    /// <returns>The element in source with the minimum value of a selector function.</returns>
    public static TSource MinBy<TSource, TKey>(this IEnumerable<TSource> source, Func<TSource, TKey> keySelector) => MaxOrMinBy(source, keySelector, -1);


    private static TSource MaxOrMinBy<TSource, TKey>
      (IEnumerable<TSource> source, Func<TSource, TKey> keySelector, int sign)
    {
      if (source == null) throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(source));
      if (keySelector == null) throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(keySelector));
      Comparer<TKey> comparer = Comparer<TKey>.Default;
      TKey value = default(TKey);
      TSource result = default(TSource);

      bool hasValue = false;

      foreach (TSource element in source)
      {
        TKey x = keySelector(element);
        if (x != null)
        {
          if (!hasValue)
          {
            value = x;
            result = element;
            hasValue = true;
          }
          else if (sign * comparer.Compare(x, value) > 0)
          {
            value = x;
            result = element;
          }
        }
      }

      if ((result != null) && !hasValue)
        throw new InvalidOperationException("The source sequence is empty");

      return result;
    }
  }

例子:

public class A
{
  public int? a;
  public A(int? a) { this.a = a; }
}

var b = a.MinBy(x => x.a);
var c = a.MaxBy(x => x.a);

其他回答

public class Foo {
    public int bar;
    public int stuff;
};

void Main()
{
    List<Foo> fooList = new List<Foo>(){
    new Foo(){bar=1,stuff=2},
    new Foo(){bar=3,stuff=4},
    new Foo(){bar=2,stuff=3}};

    Foo result = fooList.Aggregate((u,v) => u.bar < v.bar ? u: v);
    result.Dump();
}

如果要选择具有最小或最大属性值的对象。另一种方法是使用实现IComparable。

public struct Money : IComparable<Money>
{
   public Money(decimal value) : this() { Value = value; }
   public decimal Value { get; private set; }
   public int CompareTo(Money other) { return Value.CompareTo(other.Value); }
}

最大执行将是。

var amounts = new List<Money> { new Money(20), new Money(10) };
Money maxAmount = amounts.Max();

最小实现将是。

var amounts = new List<Money> { new Money(20), new Money(10) };
Money maxAmount = amounts.Min();

通过这种方式,您可以比较任何对象并在返回对象类型的同时获得Max和Min。

希望这能帮助到一些人。

编辑:

对不起。除了错过了可空值之外,我看错了函数,

Min<(Of <(TSource, TResult>)>)(IEnumerable<(Of <(TSource>)>), Func<(Of <(TSource, TResult>)>))确实返回你所说的结果类型。

我想说一个可能的解决方案是实现IComparable,并使用Min<(Of <(TSource>)>)(IEnumerable<(Of <(TSource>)>)),它确实从IEnumerable中返回一个元素。当然,如果不能修改元素,这也没有帮助。我觉得微软的设计有点奇怪。

当然,如果你需要的话,你总是可以做一个for循环,或者使用Jon Skeet给出的MoreLINQ实现。

    public static TSource MinBy<TSource, TKey>(this IEnumerable<TSource> source, Func<TSource, TKey> keySelector) => MaxOrMinBy(source, keySelector, -1);


    private static TSource MaxOrMinBy<TSource, TKey>
      (IEnumerable<TSource> source, Func<TSource, TKey> keySelector, int sign)
    {
      if (source == null) throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(source));
      if (keySelector == null) throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(keySelector));
      Comparer<TKey> comparer = Comparer<TKey>.Default;
      TKey value = default(TKey);
      TSource result = default(TSource);

      bool hasValue = false;

      foreach (TSource element in source)
      {
        TKey x = keySelector(element);
        if (x != null)
        {
          if (!hasValue)
          {
            value = x;
            result = element;
            hasValue = true;
          }
          else if (sign * comparer.Compare(x, value) > 0)
          {
            value = x;
            result = element;
          }
        }
      }

      if ((result != null) && !hasValue)
        throw new InvalidOperationException("The source sequence is empty");

      return result;
    }
  }

例子:

public class A
{
  public int? a;
  public A(int? a) { this.a = a; }
}

var b = a.MinBy(x => x.a);
var c = a.MaxBy(x => x.a);

这是一个获取最小值和最大值的简单方法:

    `dbcontext.tableName.Select(x=>x.Feild1).Min()`
