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. However, Booleans are also supported and will be converted to Numbers: true => 1, false => 0. Other non Number elements will be converted to 0 but Bad conversion: scalar message will be logged into .rpt.

Syntax

Syntax:
selectMin array
Parameters:
array: Array - array of anything
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];
