Min Function

---

Class

System.Math

Syntax

     Dim result As type = Math.Min(val1, val2) 

type (required)

One of the following data types: Byte, Decimal, Double, Integer, Long, SByte, Single, Short, UInteger, ULong, or UShort

val1, val2 (required; expressions of type type)

Two valid numbers to be compared

Description

The Min function returns the minimum of val1 and val2.

Usage at a Glance

• If Option Strict is Off and the two values have different numeric data types, the narrower data type is automatically converted to the wider data type before use in the function.

• This is a shared member of the System.Math class, so it can be used without an instance.

Version Differences

The Min function did not exist in VB 6.
