min()
Description:
find the minimum value among members of a sequence.
Syntax:
|
A.min(x) |
|
|
min(x1,…,xn) |
Equivalent to A.min(), where x1,…,xn are members of sequence A. |
Note:
The function computes expression x with members of sequence A and by default, returns the minimum non-null value.
Parameter:
|
A |
A sequence, where members should have same data type. |
|
x |
An expression; cannot be omitted when sequence A is a table sequence or a record sequence. |
Option:
|
@0 |
Do not ignore null members; syntax min(x1,…,xn) isn’t supported when this option works. |
Return value:
The minimum value
Example:
When A is a sequence:
|
|
A |
|
|
1 |
=["c","b","e","A"].min() |
"A" |
|
2 |
=[8,-6,1,3,5].min(~*2) |
-12 |
|
3 |
=["a",1].min() |
Error is reported as members of the sequence have inconsistent data types. |
|
4 |
=["a",null,"b"].min() |
"a"; ignore null members. |
|
5 |
=["a",null,"b"].min@0() |
null. |
|
6 |
=min("c","b","e","A") |
"A", which is same as A1. |
When A is a table sequence or a record sequence:
|
|
A |
|
|
1 |
=demo.query("select EID,NAME,SALARY from EMPLOYEE").sort(SALARY) |
Query content of EMPLOYEE table and sort result by SALARY in ascending order.
|
|
2 |
=A1.min(SALARY+1000) |
Get the lowest SALARY value after salary is increased by 1000 and return 4000. |
|
3 |
=demo.query("select * from AREA") |
Query AREA table.
|
|
4 |
=A3.min(FATHER) |
Get the minimum non-null FATHER value in AREA table and return 0. |
