---

Description

The java.lang.StrictMath.min(int a, int b) method returns the smaller of two int values. That is, the result is the argument closer to the value of Integer.MIN_VALUE. If the arguments have the same value, the result is that same value.

Declaration

Following is the declaration for java.lang.StrictMath.min() method

public static int min(int a, int b)

Parameters

• a − This is the int value.

• b − This is another int value.

Return Value

This method returns the smaller of a and b.

Exception

NA

Example

The following example shows the usage of java.lang.StrictMath.min() method.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.lang.*;

public class StrictMathDemo {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

      int i1 = 10 , i2 = 80, i3 = -95;
   
      // both positive values
      double minValue = StrictMath.min(i1, i2); 
      System.out.println("StrictMath.min(10, 80) : " + minValue);

      // one positive and one negative value
      minValue = StrictMath.min(i1, i3); 
      System.out.println("StrictMath.min(10, -95) : " + minValue);    
   }
}

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

StrictMath.min(10, 80) : 10.0
StrictMath.min(10, -95) : -95.0
