How to find a min/max with Ruby

Question

I want to use min(5,10), or Math.max(4,7). Are there functions to this effect in Ruby?

Answer 1

All those results generate garbage in a zealous attempt to handle more than two arguments. I'd be curious to see how they perform compared to good 'ol:

def max (a,b)
  a>b ? a : b
end

which is, by-the-way, my official answer to your question.
