List contains multiple values, sometimes you need to get the minimum and maximum values from the given list.
Let’s see some programs to find the min and max values in different ways.
How to find the maximum and minimum value of a List of Numbers in the Dart program?
- use
Sortthe list and get the first and last Element in Dart In this example, First sort the list of numbers using the sort() method. This sorts the numbers in the list in ascending order.
The first element becomes the minimum value and the last element is the maximum value. Here is an example dart code to find the minimum and maximum values using the sort
main() {
List numbers = [8, 1, 0, 2, 102, 5];
numbers.sort();
print(numbers); // [0, 1, 2, 5, 8, 102]
print(numbers[0]); //0
print(numbers[numbers.length - 1]); //102
}
- use reduce method
reduce method in a list used to reduce the collection of items into a single value using login inside a function.
Here is a Syntax.
reduce(combinedFunction)
The combined Function holds the current value and next value and compares the values and assigns the current value with min or max logic.
Here is an example program
main() {
List numbers = [8, 1, 0, 2, 102, 5];
var maximumNumber =
numbers.reduce((value, element) => value > element ? value : element);
var minimumNumber =
numbers.reduce((value, element) => value < element ? value : element);
print(maximumNumber); // 102
print(minimumNumber); // 0
}
How to get max and min values from a list of objects
In this, We have a list of employees, where each employee holds name and salary information.
this program finds the min and maximum salary of all employees listed in dart and flutter programming.
class Employee {
final String name;
final int salary;
Employee(this.name, this.salary);
@override
String toString() {
return 'Employee: {name: ${name}, salary: ${salary}}';
}
}
final e1 = Employee('Erwin', 9000);
final e2 = Employee('Andrew', 70000);
final e3 = Employee('Mark', 8000);
final e4 = Employee('Otroc', 5000);
main() {
List<Employee> employees = [e1, e2, e3, e4];
// Find Employee having minimum salary from all employees
Employee employeeWithMinSalary = employees
.reduce((item1, item2) => item1.salary < item2.salary ? item1 : item2);
print(employeeWithMinSalary.toString()); // 102
// Find Employee having Maximum salary from all employees
Employee employeeWithMaxSalary = employees
.reduce((item1, item2) => item1.salary > item2.salary ? item1 : item2);
print(employeeWithMaxSalary.toString()); // 102
}
Output:
Employee: {name: Otroc, salary: 5000}
Employee: {name: Andrew, salary: 70000}
Conclusion
To summarize, Learned to find the min and max values of a list in dart and flutter programming.
- List of primitive numbers
- List of objects based on a numeric property
