Math.Min Method (Single, Single)
[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
Returns the smaller of two single-precision floating-point numbers.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
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.SingleParameter val1 or val2, whichever is smaller. If val1, val2, or both val1 and val2 are equal to NaN, NaN is returned.
The following example demonstrates how to use the Min method to return and display the smaller of two Single variables.
