How to find smallest element in a list

gharish over 11 years ago

Hi,

Is there any function to find smallest or biggest number in a given list.

Ex: mylist = list( 1 2 3 4)

I need smallest number in mylist.

I have tried to use max() and min() functions. But not working.

Before this thread, I did not realize APPLY had a hard limit on the number of arguments!
I recently read a Google Common Lisp Style Guide entry that addresses this very issue:
http://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/lispguide.xml#REDUCE_vs_APPLY
SKILL doesn't have REDUCE, so I use Andrew's CCFoverList() instead, renamed as "foldl1" due to my time with Haskell.
