MIN ✓

SYNTAX

   = MIN(#const1,#const2)
   = MIN(val1,val2)
   = MIN(string1,string2)

PURPOSE

The MIN function allows you to identify the smaller of two values. If both terms are (numeric) constants, the evaluation is carried out at the time of compilation. Otherwise, the value is calculated at runtime.

Where the data types are not identical, ugBASIC “promotes” the second term to the type of the first term. If the conversion is not possible, a specific error will be issued. The comparison of heterogeneous types is, in effect, a comparison of implicitly promoted types. In particular, static strings are always promoted to dynamic strings.

EXAMPLE

  result = MIN( a, b )
