Get Max value from List

Question

I have List List, my type contains Age and RandomID

Now I want to find the maximum age from this list.

What

Answer 1

How about this way:

List<int> myList = new List<int>(){1, 2, 3, 4}; //or any other type
myList.Sort();
int greatestValue = myList[ myList.Count - 1 ];

You basically let the Sort() method to do the job for you instead of writing your own method. Unless you don't want to sort your collection.

Answer 2

var maxAge = list.Max(x => x.Age);
