MIN( ) |
Return Minimum Value |
MIN(compare_1,compare_2, ... [,ERR=stmtref])
|
compare1,compare2, ... |
Comma-separated list of values and/or expressions to be compared in order to determine the lowest value. |
|
stmtref |
Program line number or statement label to which to transfer control. |
The smallest numeric or string value from the list of supplied values.
The MIN( ) function returns the minimum (smallest) value of the values or expressions specified. There is no limit to the number of values or expressions that can be passed to the MIN( ) function. All compare values must be the same type -- numeric or string.
(The ability to use the MIN function on a string was added in PxPlus v8.01, build 9181.)
In this example, the MIN( ) function evaluates an expression (13/2.96=4.39), a literal (4.5) and a variable (evaluated, A=5.69):
A=12.345/2.71
B=min(13/2.96,4.5,A);
print B
->run
4.39
