JavaScript MIN

by

The JavaScript MIN function is one of the JavaScript Math function which is used to return the Minimum or Smaller value from the specified set of expression. In this article we will show you, How to use MIN() function in JavaScript Programming language with example.

Syntax of a JavaScript MIN Function

The basic syntax of the MIN Function in JavaScript Programming language is as shown below:

Math.min(Value1, Value2, ...ValueN);

Value1: It can be a number or a valid numerical expression.

  • If we provide Zero arguments to the MIN() function, Function will return Positive Infinity
  • If the value argument is positive integer and Negative integer, MIN() function will return the Output.
  • If any of the value argument is not a number, MIN() function will return NaN.
  • If the value argument is Null, MIN() function will convert Null value to Zero.

JavaScript MIN Function Example

The JavaScript MIN function is used to return the Minimum or Smaller value from the given set of number. In this example, We are going to find the Minimum value from different set of data types and display the output

JAVASCRIPT CODE

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title> JavaScript MIN Function </title>
</head>
<body>
  <h1> JavaScript MIN Function </h1>
  <p id = "Pos"></p>
  <p id = "Neg"></p>
  <p id = "Dec"></p>
  <p id = "Neg_Dec"></p>
  <p id = "Str"></p>
  <p id = "Str1"></p>
  <p id = "Null"></p>
  <p id = "Multi"></p>
  <script>
    document.getElementById("Pos").innerHTML = Math.min(10, 2, 3);
    document.getElementById("Neg").innerHTML = Math.min(-1, 2, -9, -7);
    document.getElementById("Dec").innerHTML = Math.min(12.50, 4.05, 9.35, 14.58);
    document.getElementById("Neg_Dec").innerHTML = Math.min(-3.10,-6.05, -22.04, -15.08);
    document.getElementById("Str").innerHTML = Math.min(2, "3", "1", 9);
    document.getElementById("Str1").innerHTML = Math.min(2, "String");
    document.getElementById("Null").innerHTML = Math.min(4, null, 5, 9);
    document.getElementById("Multi").innerHTML = Math.min();
  </script>
</body>
</html>

OUTPUT

JavaScript MIN Function

ANALYSIS

First two statements, We used the MIN() Function directly on both the Positive integer and negative integer. Next two statements, We used the MIN() Function directly on both the Positive and negative decimals. From the above screenshot you can observe that, MIN() Function is returning output.

Next, We used the MIN() Function on String value. Following statement will convert the “3” and “1” to integers and return the output.

document.getElementById("Str").innerHTML = Math.min(2, "3", "1", 9);

Next statement, We tried MIN() Function on String value “String”. As we said before, this will return NaN (Not a Number) as output

document.getElementById("Str1").innerHTML = Math.min(2, "String");

Next, we used MIN() Function along with Null value. Here null argument is converted to Zero.

document.getElementById("Null").innerHTML = Math.min(4, null, 5, 9);

Last, We tried MIN() Function without arguments (Zero arguments). As we said before, this will return Infinite
