Min, max for Fixnum?

Ruby
1

Did I understand it right that there are no operators/functions
predefined in Ruby for getting the minimum and maximum for two Fixnum?

I.e.

def min(a,b)
a < b ? a : b
end

Or did I just overlook something?

I think that min and max are very general, so they don’t have to be
limited to Fixnum.

How about [a, b].min or [a, b].max?

[1, 2].min #=> 1

There is Enumerable#min. [10,5,3,7].min will return 3.
