Is there an easier way to get the lesser of two values in Swift

Question

I'd like to assign the lesser of two values to a variable. In Ruby I would do something like:

my_var = [value_one, value_two].min

In Swift, of course, I can do this:

var myVar = 0.0
if valueOne < valueTwo {
    myVar = valueOne
} else {
    myVar = valueTwo
}

But, I'm wondering if there is a cleaner, more succinct solution.

Answer 1

var myVar = min(valueOne, valueTwo)

min is a standard library function that takes the lesser of two (or least of several — it's variadic) Comparable values.
