MinBy

• Use IEnumerable.Select() to map each element to the value returned by the provided selector function, fn.
• Use IEnumerable.Min() to get the minimum of the resulting values.

public static partial class _30s 
{
  public static double MinBy<T>(IEnumerable<T> values, Func<T,int> fn)
  {
    return values.Select(fn).Min();
  }
}

var p = new [] {
  new { a = 3, b = 2},
  new { a = 2, b = 1}
};

_30s.MinBy(p, v => v.a); // 2
_30s.MinBy(p, v => v.b); // 1
