Exercise: Generic min

In this short exercise, you will implement a generic min function that determines the minimum of two values, using the Ord trait.

use std::cmp::Ordering;
// TODO: implement the `min` function used in `main`.
fn main() {
    assert_eq!(min(0, 10), 0);
    assert_eq!(min(500, 123), 123);
    assert_eq!(min('a', 'z'), 'a');
    assert_eq!(min('7', '1'), '1');
    assert_eq!(min("hello", "goodbye"), "goodbye");
    assert_eq!(min("bat", "armadillo"), "armadillo");
}

This slide and its sub-slides should take about 10 minutes.

• Show students the Ord trait and Ordering enum.
