How to find maximum and minimum value in an array of integers in Perl?

Question

I have an array with values 33, 32, 8, 100.

How can I find the maximum and minimum value in this array?

Do I need to include any special libraries?<

Answer 1

List::Util's min and max are fine,

use List::Util qw( min max );
my $min = min @numbers;
my $max = max @numbers;

But List::MoreUtils's minmax is more efficient when you need both the min and the max (because it does fewer comparisons).

use List::MoreUtils qw( minmax );
my ($min, $max) = minmax @numbers;

List::Util is part of core, but List::MoreUtils isn't.
