Henri Yandell commented on LANG-642:
------------------------------------
The issue is that you can't use varargs for these method signatures rather than
concerns over optimization or code duplication.
The Java SDK covers max(int, int); this is a request, per the varargs issue, to
support max(int, int, int, int).
I wonder if one option would be to implement max(int[]), and then have an
IntegerUtils facade to handle the varargs. Not sure if that would work or not.
> Need varargs form of NumberUtils.max(), etc

> Key: LANG-642
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-642
> Project: Commons Lang
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: lang.math.*
> Reporter: david cogen
> Priority: Minor
>
> There should be a varargs form of the NumberUtils.max() and min() functions.
> E.g. int max (int... numbers)
> This might conflict with the existing int max (int[] numbers) but that
> function would in fact not be needed if the varargs form existed because an
> array could be supplied to it just as easily.
> Or, if it is undesirable to remove max(int[] numbers), then a varargs
> function could be defined as
> int max (int number1, int... moreNumbers)
> which would work for any number of arguments greater than 0.
> Of course this function should be implemented for all number types (byte,
> short, float, double, etc) and both max() and min() should be provided.
