In this tutorial, you shall learn how to find the smallest of given two numbers in Kotlin, with the help of example programs.
Kotlin – Find smallest of two numbers
To find the smallest of given two numbers in Kotlin, we can use Greater-than or Less-than operator and compare the two numbers.
If a and b are given two numbers, the condition to check if a is less than b is
a < b
The above condition returns true if a
is less than b
, or else, it returns false.
Program
In the following program, we read two numbers from user and store them in a
and b
, then use Less-than comparison operator to find the smallest of a
and b
.
Main.kt
fun main() { print("Enter first number : ") val a = readLine()!!.toDouble() print("Enter second number : ") val b = readLine()!!.toDouble() if (a < b) { print("$a is the smallest of $a and $b") } else { print("$b is the smallest of $a and $b") } }
Output #1
Enter first number : 4 Enter second number : 9 4.0 is the smallest of 4.0 and 9.0
Output #2
Enter first number : 8 Enter second number : 5 5.0 is the smallest of 8.0 and 5.0
