:: (a -> a -> Ordering) -> [a] -> a -package:ghc-internal

The largest element of a non-empty structure with respect to the given comparison function. Structure order is used as a tie-breaker: if there are multiple largest elements, the rightmost of them is chosen.

Examples

Basic usage:

>>> maximumBy (compare `on` length) ["Hello", "World", "!", "Longest", "bar"]
"Longest"

WARNING: This function is partial for possibly-empty structures like lists.

The least element of a non-empty structure with respect to the given comparison function. Structure order is used as a tie-breaker: if there are multiple least elements, the leftmost of them is chosen.

Examples

Basic usage:

>>> minimumBy (compare `on` length) ["Hello", "World", "!", "Longest", "bar"]
"!"

O(n) Yield the maximum element of the vector according to the given comparison function. The vector may not be empty. In case of a tie, the first occurrence wins. This behavior is different from maximumBy which returns the last tie.

Examples

>>> import Data.Ord

>>> import qualified Data.Vector.Strict as V

>>> V.maximumBy (comparing fst) $ V.fromList [(2,'a'), (1,'b')]
(2,'a')

>>> V.maximumBy (comparing fst) $ V.fromList [(1,'a'), (1,'b')]
(1,'a')

O(n) Yield the minimum element of the vector according to the given comparison function. The vector may not be empty. In case of a tie, the first occurrence wins.

Examples

>>> import Data.Ord

>>> import qualified Data.Vector.Strict as V

>>> V.minimumBy (comparing fst) $ V.fromList [(2,'a'), (1,'b')]
(1,'b')

>>> V.minimumBy (comparing fst) $ V.fromList [(1,'a'), (1,'b')]
(1,'a')
