Math.Min Method (Single, Single)

Parameters

• val1
  Type: System.Single
  The first of two single-precision floating-point numbers to compare.

• val2
  Type: System.Single
  The second of two single-precision floating-point numbers to compare.

Return Value

Type: System.Single
Parameter val1 or val2, whichever is smaller. If val1, val2, or both val1 and val2 are equal to NaN, NaN is returned.
