Examples

Example #1

Using an equality comparer function:

procedure Max_Eg1;
var
  A: TArray<Integer>;
  ComparerFn: TComparison<Integer>;
begin
  A := TArray<Integer>.Create(1, 2, 3, 4, 2, 3, 2);
  ComparerFn := function(const Left, Right: Integer): Integer
    begin
      Result := Left - Right;
    end;
  Assert(TArrayUtils.Max<Integer>(A, ComparerFn) = 4);
end;

Example #2

Using an equality comparer object:

procedure Max_Eg2;
var
  A: TArray<string>;
  ComparerObj: IComparer<string>;
begin
  A := TArray<string>.Create('a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'c', 'a');
  ComparerObj := TDelegatedComparer<string>.Create(CompareStr);
  Assert(TArrayUtils.Max<string>(A, ComparerObj) = 'd');
end;
