min

Calculate the minimum value of an array.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/stats-array-min

Usage

var min = require( '@stdlib/stats-array-min' );

min( x )

Computes the minimum value of an array.

var x = [ 1.0, -2.0, 2.0 ];

var v = min( x );
// returns -2.0

The function has the following parameters:

• x: input array.

Notes

• If provided an empty array, the function returns NaN.
• The function supports array-like objects having getter and setter accessors for array element access (e.g., @stdlib/array-base/accessor).

Examples

var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random-array-discrete-uniform' );
var min = require( '@stdlib/stats-array-min' );

var x = discreteUniform( 10, -50, 50, {
    'dtype': 'float64'
});
console.log( x );

var v = min( x );
console.log( v );
