Did that half a year ago.
Goodbye car, hello commuter train, hello walking shoes. Still no regrets!
Good luck!

When confronted by management, just think, What Would Mick Do...then probably do the opposite.

By the way, you work in a PUB!?

Well done, hope they pay reasonably well and you enjoy the work.

No, don't do any of this. Make them feel that you are really underpaid.

Just as long as they don't require you to provide breakfast for the office on Friday of your first week.
"Rookie Breakfast", yeah that's a think at one company I worked for.

var result = new[] { 1, double.PositiveInfinity, double.NegativeInfinity, double.NaN }.Max();
var result = new[] { 1, double.PositiveInfinity, double.NegativeInfinity, double.NaN }.Min();
var isNaNSmaller = double.NaN < 1; So NaN is not the biggest value, it's still bigger than one, but it's also the smallest value.
I hate to sound infinitely negative, but that's messed up

NaN means Not a Number, so you cannot compare it to a proper number and get a valid response.
|
|
|
|
|
I know, so always treat it as smallest value, or always as biggest value or, better yet, throw an exception when comparing it to numbers.
These results are contradictory and just don't make any sense at all!
If this was JavaScript I'd be okay with it, but we're talking C# here. I expected better from C# 
|
|
|
|
|
This has nothing to do with C#. I refer you to IEEE 754.
|
|
|
|

I'm glad that a lot of people have thought about how NaN should have contradictory results in different usages 
<Edit>
So it seems the contradictory result are in IEEE 754, but the weird behavior in Min and Max is Microsoft[^]

That is true. But keep in mind that the Min and Max functions have nothing to do with C# - they are written in C#; yes, but they are part of the LINQ / the .NET Framework.
The difference in both is that Max excludes NaN, while Min will take NaN exclusively. You can see the difference here (Min)[^] and here (Max)[^].
That is different to some JS functions (such as everything in Math), which are defined by the same specification as the language.

"Not a number" means exactly that. So you cannot equate it to any numeric value.

Yes you can, and that's the point.
I expected either an exception (compile or run time) or at least a predictable weird behavior (well, it's predictable once you know all the edge cases I guess).
Now whether you should is a different discussion... 
I found this because I had some weird JavaScript bug by the way, casting some object to a number results in NaN and I was wondering how C# handled the case the followed.
NaN is not smaller than 1 (when comparing and when using the Min function), but when both are thrown into the Max function NaN is smaller than 1. Got it 
Luckily, I've never had to work with NaN in C# because why would there even be a NaN anyway...

Just because you are not familiar with the subject, does not make others wrong.

0/0 should throw a DivideByZeroException (which it does for integers).
And apparently 1/0 equals infinity.
Now what is it? NaN, infinity or just plain not possible?
Doesn't it sound weird (and, indeed, very wrong) that a NUMERIC type has a value "NOT A NUMBER"!?
Anyway, when I said "why would there even be a NaN anyway" I was referring to NaN in actual real life business cases that make sense and have practical use
