"min" and "max" in "std.algorithm" can be used with single
values to pick up the min and max values, but it didn't
mention how they can be used with ranges in the documentation:
https://dlang.org/phobos/std_algorithm_comparison.html#.min
The docs do mention `minElement` and `maxElement` (the range
versions) under the "See Also" heading, but you're right that
it's not super clear *why* they're mentioned.
They said " If at least one of the arguments is NaN, the result
is an unspecified value. See std.algorithm.searching.minElement
for examples on how to cope with NaNs.", as a beginner how can
I guess what "NaNs" means or if it refers to ranges?!
When something unexplained, it might be because it's assumed to
be general knowledge. So you can search for that term on a web
search engine. The good ones immediately come up with the
wikipedia entry for the computing term. Google has a definition
and a bunch of ads but, below these, the same wikipedia entry.
