    Source position: math.pp line 802

    function MinValue(const data: Array of Single) : Single;

    function MinValue(const data: PSingle; const N: Integer) : Single;

    function MinValue(const data: Array of Double) : Double;

    function MinValue(const data: PDouble; const N: Integer) : Double;

    function MinValue(const data: Array of Extended) : Extended;

    function MinValue(const data: PExtended; const N: Integer) : Extended;

    function MinValue(const data: Array of Integer) : Integer;

    function MinValue(const Data: PInteger; const N: Integer) : Integer;

    Description

    Minvalue returns the smallest value in the data array with integer or float values. The return value has the same type as the elements of the array.

    The third and fourth forms accept a pointer to an array of N integer or float values.

    Errors

    None.
