Minimum: Difference between revisions

{{Built-in|Minimum|⌊}}, '''Min''', or '''Lesser of''' is a [[dyadic]] [[scalar function]] which returns the [[Less than|smaller]] of its two [[argument]]s. The name "Minimum" is sometimes also used for the Minimum [[Reduce]] <source lang=apl inline>⌊/</source>, which returns the smallest element of a [[vector]] (this usage is related to the [[wikipedia:minimum|minimum]] of a function). Minimum is paired with [[Maximum]], which returns the greater argument rather than the smaller, and shares the glyph <source lang=apl inline>⌊</source> with the [[Floor]] function. It is not subject to [[comparison tolerance]], since the result will be exactly equal to one argument, and there is no reason to choose a smaller argument even if the two arguments are [[tolerant comparison|tolerantly]] equal. As a [[Boolean function]], Minimum is identical to [[And]].
