Command: min

Name:
min - return the smaller of two values
Synopsis:
val1 val2 min -> result
Description:
This function returns the smaller of two values, by removing the other one from the stack. Hence, the output type is the same as the respective input type (integer or double). Alternatives: Functions min_i_i, min_i_d, min_d_i, min_d_d (all undocumented), where i is standing for integer and for double as arguments -> behaviour and synopsis are the same.
Parameters:
val1, val2: numeric values (integer or double) result : the smaller of the two values (keeping its type, integer or double)
Examples:
1 2 min -> 1 1 2.0 min -> 1 1.0 2 min -> 1.0
