hi. I have a lot of data of Lng and Lat in geography.
how can I find max,min Lng and max,min Lat?

I use this to find those :

is there any fast algorithm to find that?

C#
double maxLng = double.MinValue, maxLat = double.MinValue;
          double minLng = double.MaxValue, minLat = double.MaxValue;
          foreach (var item in points)
          {

          }



          foreach (var item in points)
          {
              maxLng = item.Lng > maxLng ? item.Lng : maxLng;
              maxLat = item.Lat > maxLat ? item.Lat : maxLat;
              minLng = item.Lng < minLng ? item.Lng : minLng;
              minLat = item.Lat < minLat ? item.Lat : minLat;
          }


also there is a sample of data :
point[1]:{Lat=35.7159323908571, Lng=51.6639151177448}
point[2]:{Lat=35.8288428540831, Lng=51.5313353924282}
point[3]:{Lat=35.8210003633366, Lng=51.2716503558998} and ...
thanks.

Your algorithm is the best for a 1 time problem, it is brute force, but there is no other way with what you told us.
Nota: just remove the empty loop.

Anything can be different depending on:
- number of coordinates
- number of times you need min, max
- is it a database that evolve with time
- what is the other usages of this data
- is it persistent data or new set every times.

thanks..
I suggest make use of Linq. You may use the following code for your reference

C#
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    public class Point
    {
        public Double Lat { get; set; }
        public Double Lng { get; set; }
    }

    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            List<Point> lstPoints = new List<Point>
            {
                new Point(){Lat=35.7159323908571, Lng=51.6639151177448},
                new Point(){Lat=35.8288428540831, Lng=51.5313353924282},
                new Point(){Lat=35.8210003633366, Lng=51.2716503558998}
            };

            Double MaxLat = lstPoints.OrderByDescending(x => x.Lat).First().Lat;
            Double MinLat = lstPoints.OrderByDescending(x => x.Lat).Last().Lat;

            Double MaxLng = lstPoints.OrderByDescending(x => x.Lng).First().Lng;
            Double MinLng = lstPoints.OrderByDescending(x => x.Lng).Last().Lng;

            Console.WriteLine("Max Lat:{0},Min Lat{1}", MaxLat, MinLat);
            Console.WriteLine("Max Lng:{0},Min Lng:{1}", MaxLng, MinLng);

            Console.ReadLine();

        }

    }
}

well, the point are dynamic , and I want to do mathematical formula on them.
what should I do?
sreeyush sudhakaran 9-Aug-15 4:15am    
You can add Points like this dynamically:
Point objPoint = new points();
objPoint.Lat = 35.7159323908571;
objPoint.Lng=51.6639151177448;
lstPoints.Add(objPoint);

or Even like this
priavte Point GetPoints()
{
//Logic for getting points from some where

return objPoints;
}

lstPoints.Add(GetPoints());

Usually, sorting data cost more than the simple scan of data.
