Math.Min Method (Decimal, Decimal)
[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
Returns the smaller of two decimal numbers.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Parameters
- val1
- Type: System.Decimal
The first of two Decimal numbers to compare.
- val2
- Type: System.Decimal
The second of two Decimal numbers to compare.
The following example demonstrates how to use the Min method to return and display the smaller of two Decimal variables.
