    Spaces, commas, semicolons, or new lines all work.

  2. 2

    Read the extremes

    Minimum, maximum, and count appear as soon as the list is valid.

  3. 3

    Adjust and re-check

    Edit the list any time — the results follow instantly.

About this tool

The two numbers every list has

Paste your numbers and the tool returns the minimum and maximum — the boundaries of your data. Everything else you might ask about a list (range, outliers, sanity) starts from these two values.

Min and max as a data sanity check

Before trusting any average, check the extremes: a minimum of zero or negative in a dataset of prices means dirty data, and a maximum ten times the next value means an outlier or a typo. Two numbers, read in seconds, catching most import errors.

From min and max to the full picture

The range is max minus min; the average adds the center; sorting with the number sorter shows the distribution. Together they are the whole first-pass analysis of any number list.

Frequently asked questions

What happens with an empty list?

No numbers, no min or max — the tool reports that no values were found rather than inventing a zero.

How do negatives and decimals factor in?

Fully — numeric comparison covers negatives, decimals, and mixtures, and the extreme values are true numeric extremes.

Does a single-number list just return that number twice?

Yes — with one value, it is both the minimum and the maximum, which is mathematically honest.
