Gapotchenko.FX.Math 2026.7.2

Overview

The module provides extended math primitives.

Extended System.Math Functionality

System.Math is a static class in the .NET Base Class Library (BCL) that provides commonly used mathematical operations. While comprehensive, its API leaves some practical gaps.

The Gapotchenko.FX.Math module complements System.Math class by extending its functionality to address those limitations.

Min/Max for Three Values

The conventional System.Math class provides ubiquitous Min/Max primitives for two values.

However, such a limitation on number of values was proven counter-productive on more than several occasions. Gapotchenko.FX.Math fixes that by providing Min/Max operations for three values:

using Gapotchenko.FX.Math;
using System;

Console.WriteLine(Math.Max(1, 2, 3));

Min/Max for Any Comparable Type

Ever found yourself trying to find the maximum System.DateTime value? Or System.Version?

Gapotchenko.FX.Math module provides Min/Max operations for any comparable type:

using Gapotchenko.FX.Math;
using System;

var currentProgress = new DateTime(2012, 1, 1);
var desiredProgress = new DateTime(2026, 1, 1);

var fxProgress = Math.Max(currentProgress, desiredProgress);
Console.WriteLine(fxProgress);

MathEx

MathEx class provided by Gapotchenko.FX.Math module offers extended mathematical functions. It is designed as a natural addendum to the standard System.Math class.

Some of the functionality provided by MathEx class is outlined below.

Factorial

The MathEx.Factorial function computes the factorial of a given number:

using Gapotchenko.FX.Math;

Console.WriteLine(MathEx.Factorial(5));
