MIN(3I) Last changed: 1-6-98
NAME
MIN, MIN0, AMIN1, DMIN1, AMIN0, MIN1 - Returns minimum values
SYNOPSIS
MIN0 ([A1=]a1, [A2=]a2 [,[A3=]a3] ... )
AMIN1 ([A1=]a1, [A2=]a2 [,[A3=]a3] ... )
DMIN1 ([A1=]a1, [A2=]a2 [,[A3=]a3] ... )
AMIN0 ([A1=]a1, [A2=]a2 [,[A3=]a3] ... )
MIN1 ([A1=]a1, [A2=]a2 [,[A3=]a3] ... )
IMPLEMENTATION
UNICOS, UNICOS/mk, and IRIX systems
STANDARDS
Fortran 90
DESCRIPTION
The MIN intrinsic functions find minimum values. MIN is the generic
name. It accepts the following arguments:
a1, a2, a3, ...
The arguments must all have the same type, which must be integer
or real, and they must all have the same kind type parameter.
MIN, MIN0, AMIN1, DMIN1, AMIN0, and MIN1 are elemental functions. The
names of these intrinsics cannot be passed as arguments.
NOTES
On UNICOS systems, both execution speed and the number of bits used in
mathematical operations are affected when compiling with
f90 -O fastint, which is the default setting. For more information,
see CF90 Commands and Directives Reference Manual, publication SR-
3901.
RETURN VALUES
The result type and type parameter are the same as the arguments. The
value of the result is that of the smallest argument.
EXAMPLES
MIN(-9.0, 7.0, 2.0) has the value -9.0.
