Syntax

public static void Partial<T>(
	T[] items,
	int n,
	bool asc = true
)
where T : Object, IComparable<T>

Public Shared Sub Partial(Of T As {Object, IComparable(Of T)}) ( 
	items As T(),
	n As Integer,
	Optional asc As Boolean = true
)

items: Type: T
The array of elements from which the n-th element should be extracted.
n: Type: SystemInt32
The position to look for (0 returns the smallest element, 1 the second smallest, and so on).
asc (Optional): Type: SystemBoolean
Whether to take the smallest or the largest element. If set to false, instead of returning the smallest, the method will return the largest elements in the beginning of the array.
