R min()

R min() function is used to find the minimum value among given arguments.

In this tutorial, we will learn how to use min() function to compute the minimum of given values.

The syntax of min() function is

min(..., na.rm = FALSE)

where

... are the values of which we have to find the minimum.
na.rm [optional] is a logical value indicating whether missing values should be removed.

In the following program, we will find the minimum of three numbers.

example.R

x <- 16
y <- 25
z <- 9
result <- min(x, y, z)
cat("Minimum value is :", result)

Output

Minimum value is : 9

Now, let us take an array of numbers, and find the minimum of this array.

example.R

x <- array(c(1, 6, 19), dim=c(3,1))
result <- min(x)
cat("Minimum value is :", result)

Output

Minimum value is : 1

If no argument is provided to min() function, then it returns positive Infinity, along with a warning message.

example.R

result <- min()
cat("Minimum value is :", result)

Output

Warning message:
In min() : no non-missing arguments to min; returning Inf
Minimum value is : Inf

In this R Tutorial, we learned how to find the minimum value of given arguments using min() function, with the help of examples.
