Array get min value bigger than other value

Question

I have following array:

float[] arr = { 0, 0.1f, 0, 0.1f, 0, 0.2f };

What is the most elegant way to select min value that is bigger than 0 or bigger than some other value?

I've tried using Min() and Select...From...OrderBy...First() but no luck until now.

Answer 1

Use the LINQ method Where to filter out zero values then use the LINQ method Min to retrieve the lowest value of the resulting collection.

arr.Where(f => f > 0).Min();

Answer 2

You can exclude values using Where and then apply a Min:

array.Where(a => a > 1 && a < 10).Min();
