FMIN
NAME
fmin - This function returns the smallest of the 2 var chosen by the user.
SYNOPSIS
fmin(number x,number y)
DESCRIPTION
This mathematical function returns the smallest value between the two variables x and y chosen by the user.
PARAMETERS
- NUMBER
- Specifies the two numbers (float) used as argument for the fmin function.
RETURN
- The smallest number between x and y.
EXAMPLES
Note: In the followings examples, the _ between the { should be removed to make it work.
One can use this function with integers:
test(q(res={_{fmin(3,4);}}.),q(res=3.));
With floats:
test(q(res={_{fmin(2.5,3);}}.),q(res=2.5.));
One can use this function with another variable:
test(q(res={_{
%include "/includes/extenso.sn";
a=3;
fmin(a,4);
}}.),
q(res=3.));
With a trigonometric function:
test(q(res={_{
%include "/includes/extenso.sn";
a=cos(0);
fmin(a,0);
}}.),
q(res=0.));
With negative numbers :
test(q(res={_{fmin(-3,2);}}.),q(res=-3.));
One can also consider the limits:
test(q(res={_{fmin(-INF,INF);}}.),q(res=-INF.));
With an array, it simply considers its number of elements:
test(q(res={_{fmin(3,[1,2]);}}.),q(res=2.));
