Python set min function is used to find the minimum value within a given set. In this section, we discuss how to use this set min or minimum function, and the syntax behind this is:
min(set_Name)
Python set min Example
The set min function helps you to find the minimum items from the total number of items in a given set. Below code return the item with the least Numeric Value from a minimumSet.
TIP: Please refer to the Sets in Python.
minimumSet = {15, 25, 35, 45, 55}
print("\nOld Set Items = ", minimumSet)
print("Minimum Value in a Set = ", min(minimumSet))
Old Set Items = {35, 55, 25, 45, 15}
Minimum Value in a Set = 15Example 2
In this example, we declared a string set. Next, we used this method on the string. Here, the min function returns the word that starts with the least Alphabet.
minimumFruitSet = {'mango', 'kiwi', 'apple', 'orange', 'banana'}
print("\nOld Set Items = ", minimumFruitSet)
# Minimum
print("Minimum Value in a Set = ", min(minimumFruitSet))
