MIN: minimum of scalar arguments, or of array (f)

• MIN returns the

  minimum value

  of the scalar arguments or the array argument:
  • • result = MIN( x, y, z, ...) ! x, y, z are numeric scalars, e.g.:
    • smallest = MIN( 4, -3.1, EXP(1) ) ! sets smallest to -3.1
  • • REAL :: vec(5)
    • vec = RAN( 100, 10) ! e.g. 96.00351636 90.99435447 108.1637875 91.95317195 90.80626762
    • result = MIN(vec) ! set to 90.80626762
• MINLOC is to find the

  location of the minimum

  , e.g.:
  • loc = MINLOC( vec ) ! is set to 5
• analogous functions are Max and MaxLOC
