min()

The min() function in Kotlin’s math class is used to determine the smaller value between two numbers of the same Number type.

Syntax

min(a, b)

• a: The number of type Number to be compared.
• b: Another number, of the same type as a.

The min() function returns the smaller value between a and b. If either value is NaN, the function returns NaN.

Note: To compare more than two numbers, use minOf().

Example

This example demonstrates how to use the min() function to determine the smaller value of two numbers:

import kotlin.math.min

fun main() {
  val minValue = min(3.4, 3.5)
  println(minValue)
}

The min() function compares 3.4 and 3.5 and returns the smaller number.

The output of this code will be:

3.4
