Dart List min/max value

Question

How do you get the min and max values of a List in Dart.

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5].min //returns 1 [1, 2, 3, 4, 5].max //returns 5 

I'm sure I could a) write a short function or b) copy then sort the list and select the last value,

but I'm looking to see if there is a more native solution if there is any.

Answer 1

If you don't want to import dart: math and still wants to use reduce:

main() {   List list = [2,8,1,6]; // List should not be empty.   print(list.reduce((curr, next) => curr > next? curr: next)); // 8 --> Max   print(list.reduce((curr, next) => curr < next? curr: next)); // 1 --> Min } 

Answer 2

Assuming the list is not empty you can use Iterable.reduce :

import 'dart:math';  main(){   print([1,2,8,6].reduce(max)); // 8   print([1,2,8,6].reduce(min)); // 1 }
