Template:Min/doc
From OeisWiki
The {{min}} mathematical function template gives the minimum of one to three numbers or mathematical expressions. (For more than three arguments, use {{MIN}} instead.)
Contents
Usage
To use it, enter
- {{min|input1}} (trivial case)
or
- {{min|input1|input2}}
or
- {{min|input1|input2|input3}}
Valid input
One to three numbers or mathematical expressions as arguments.
Examples
Examples with valid input
