Find highest integer in a Generic List using C#?

Question

I have the following `List` collection and I need to find the highest integer in the collection. It could have an arbitrary number of integers and I can have same integer value for multiple times. ``` List MyList = new List { 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 3, 4, 5, 5 }; ``` What is the simplest algorithm to use for finding the highest integer? I am using C# and the .NET 3.5 framework.

Accepted Answer

You can just do:

```
int max = MyList.Max();
```

See Enumerable.Max for details.
