Explain Java function Math.min( ) with an example.

This function is used to return the minimum of two numbers. It returns an int value if both of its arguments are int otherwise it returns a double value.

Syntax

<Return data type><variable> = Function name (argument 1, argument 2);

double <variable> = Math.min(doubleArg1, doubleArg2);

int <variable> = Math.min(intArg1, intArg2);

For example, consider the statement

int n = Math.min(91, 89);

It will return the min value for n as 89.

The statement

double d = Math.min(52, 89.7);

will return a double type value for d as 52.0
