Code Simplification: String Maximum Length

I was looking at some old code and ran across something that struck a chord of wrong with me.

string temp; 
temp = "There can only be one!";
if (temp.length > 15) temp = temp.substring(0, 15);

Then I thought we could use a little math to handle the problem:

string temp; 
temp = "There can only be one!";
temp = temp.substring(0, Math.Min(15, temp.Length));

I think Microsoft should have included this kind of method to the String class. Hope this helps.

  1. Hello would you mind letting me know which web host you’re using? I’ve loaded your web site in 3
    different internet browsers and I will have to say this website loads a lot faster then most.
    Can you suggest a good hosting company at a reasonable price?
    Many thanks, I appreciate it! Plz also excuse if my english is not good enough.

    • I use WordPress hosted. It is an easy to use and makes posting much easier than some of the others I have used. Your English is quite good so no worries.
