Java Min() Method

Description

The method provides the lesser of the two arguments. The argument can be long, double, int, float, math. min() meaning is an inherent function in java that returns a minimum of two numbers. If an unenthusiastic and optimistic number is bypassed as an argument then the negative result is generated. Moreover, if both parameters exceeded are negative then the figure with the higher magnitude is generated as result.

Syntax

This method has the following variants:

double min(double arg1, double arg2)
float min(float arg1, float arg2)
int min(int arg1, int arg2)
long min(long arg1, long arg2)

Parameters

Here is the detail of parameters −

• This method accepts any primitive data type as a parameter.

Return Value

• This method returns the smaller of the two arguments.

Example

public class Test {

   public static void main(String args[]) {
      System.out.println(Math.min(12.123, 12.456));      
      System.out.println(Math.min(23.12, 23.0));  
   }
}

This will produce the following result −

Output

12.123
23.0
