Description

Description:
Returns the array element with minimum numerical value. Engine solution to BIS_fnc_lowestNum and BIS_fnc_findExtreme. Therefore it is expected that supplied array consists of Numbers only. Booleans however are also supported and will be evaluated as Numbers: true - 1, false - 0. Other non Number elements (not recommended) will be evaluated as 0 and Bad conversion: scalar message will be logged into .rpt.

Syntax

Syntax:
selectMin array
Parameters:
array: Array - array of Numbers (see description)
Return Value:
Anything - element with minimum numerical value

Examples

Example 1:
_min = selectMin [1,2,3,4,5]; //1
Example 2:
// Same as, for example: _min = _a min _b min _c min _d; // Only faster: _min = selectMin [_a,_b,_c,_d];
