Get Min and Max values in dictionary

hello,

i have following dictionary:

dictionary<string, int32> items = new dictionary<string, int32>() {    { "a", 1 },    { "b", 2 },    { "c", 3 },     { "d", 4 },     { "e", 5 },     { "f", 6 },   };

given list of string, let's say:

list<string> list = new list<string> { "b", "d", "e" };

i need minimum , maximum values list items. list get:

  minimum = 2 (value of b in dictionary)

  maximum = 5 (value of e in dictionary)

what best way this? trying linq max, min not sure how intersection between list , dictionary.

thank you,

miguel

one solution this:

var min = list.select(k => items[k]).min(); var max = list.select(k => items[k]).max();
