Template:~Min9

The following documentation is located at Template:~Min9/doc. [<Edit> Template:~Min9/doc]
[⧼Purge⧽ Template:~Min9]

The {{~Min9}} core function template (used by the {{MIN}} mathematical function template) gives the minimum of one to nine numbers or mathematical expressions, but should be used for four to nine numbers or mathematical expressions, where {{~Min3}} should be used for one to three numbers or mathematical expressions. This template

• considers only the first nine arguments (ignores extra arguments);
• considers only arguments (among the first nine) which are not undefined, empty string or white space characters (spaces, tabs, newlines) only;
• returns empty string if all nine arguments are undefined, empty string or white space characters (spaces, tabs, newlines) only;
• returns an error message when a considered argument does not evaluate to a number (arguments require prior validation).

Usage

{{~Min9|expression 1|expression 2|expression 3|expression 4}}

(...)

{{~Min9|expression 1|expression 2|expression 3|expression 4|expression 5|expression 6|expression 7|expression 8|expression 9}}

Valid input

One to nine expressions yielding numbers (requires prior validation) as arguments. Extra arguments are ignored! Arguments (among the first nine) which are undefined, empty string or white space characters (spaces, tabs, newlines) only are ignored.
