CoffeeScript Math - min()

Description

The min() method accepts a set of numbers and returns the minimum value among the given numbers. On calling this method without passing arguments it returns +Infinity.

Syntax

Given below is the syntax of min() method of JavaScript. We can use the same method in the CoffeeScript code.

Math.min ( x )

Example

The following example demonstrates the usage of the min() method in CoffeeScript. Save this code in a file with name math_min.coffee.

value = Math.min 10, 20, -1, 100
console.log "The min value among (10, 20, -1, 100) is : " + value 
         
value = Math.min -1, -3, -40
console.log "The min value among (-1, -3, -40) is : " + value 
         
value = Math.min 0, -1
console.log "The min value among (0, -1) is : " + value 

Open the command prompt and compile the .coffee file as shown below.

c:\> coffee -c math_min.coffee

On compiling, it gives you the following JavaScript.

// Generated by CoffeeScript 1.10.0
(function() {
  var value;

  value = Math.min(10, 20, -1, 100);

  console.log("The min value among (10, 20, -1, 100) is : " + value);

  value = Math.min(-1, -3, -40);

  console.log("The min value among (-1, -3, -40) is : " + value);

  value = Math.min(0, -1);

  console.log("The min value among (0, -1) is : " + value);

}).call(this);

Now, open the command prompt again, and run the CoffeeScript file as shown below.

c:\> coffee math_max.coffee

On executing, the CoffeeScript file produces the following output.

The min value among (10, 20, -1, 100) is : -1
The min value among (-1, -3, -40) is : -40
The min value among (0, -1) is : -1
