Returns the argument with the smallest (most negative) value.
Class:
Elemental function
Arguments:
| A1 | The type shall be INTEGER,REAL or UNSIGNED. |
|---|---|
| A2, A3, ... | An expression of the same type and kind as A1. (As a GNU extension, arguments of different kinds are permitted.) |
Return value:
The return value corresponds to the minimum value among the arguments, and has the same type and kind as the first argument.
Specific names:
| Name | Argument | Return type | Standard |
|---|---|---|---|
| MIN0(A1) | INTEGER(4) A1 | INTEGER(4) | Fortran 77 and later |
| AMIN0(A1) | INTEGER(4) A1 | REAL(4) | Fortran 77 and later |
| MIN1(A1) | REAL A1 | INTEGER(4) | Fortran 77 and later |
| AMIN1(A1) | REAL(4) A1 | REAL(4) | Fortran 77 and later |
| DMIN1(A1) | REAL(8) A1 | REAL(8) | Fortran 77 and later |
