.min()

The Math.min() method returns the minimum value from the given two arguments.

Syntax

Math.min(num1, num2)

• The .min() method takes two parameters num1 and num2.
• The num1 and num2 arguments can be of type int, float, double or long.

Example 1

The following example uses the .min() method to print the minimum of two numbers:

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args){
        int num1 = 50;
        int num2 = 10;

        System.out.println(Math.min(num1, num2));
    }
}

This results in the following output:

10

Example 2

The following example uses the .min() method to print the minimum of three numbers:

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args){
        int num1 = 4;
        int num2 = 10;
        int num3 = 1;

        System.out.println(Math.min(Math.min(num1, num2),num3));
    }
}

This results in the following output:
