Description

Returns the argument with the smallest (most negative) value.

Syntax

RESULT = MIN(A1, A2 [, A3, ...])

Arguments

A1 The type shall be INTEGER or REAL.
A2, A3, ... An expression of the same type and kind as A1. (As a GNU extension, arguments of different kinds are permitted.)

Return value

The return value corresponds to the maximum value among the arguments, and has the same type and kind as the first argument.
