JavaScript Math.min() methods returns the lowest numerical value passed into it. It won’t return any value if passed value is not a numerical value.
Math.min(6, 5, 3, 9, 7);
// output: 3Sometimes we have to deal with number values with arrays; in this situation, it doesn’t work well. In order to get rid of this issue, we need to use Function.prototype.apply().
let num = [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9];
Math.min.apply(null, num)
// output: 2JavaScript Math.min() Method Syntax
Math.min(a1, a2, a3, ..., aX)| Argument | Detail |
|---|---|
| a1, a2, a3, …, aX | In order to get the lowest value, pass numerical values here. It’s optional as well. |
Math.min() with Numerical Array using Spread Operator
Thanks to ECMAScript 2015, It can easily be done with ECMAScript spread operator. Check out the solution below.
let num = [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9];
Math.min(...num)
// output: 2The new ECMAScript spread operator expands the values into the method’s parameter.
JavaScript Min Method Examples
let a = Math.min(6, 13);
// output: 6
let b = Math.min(0, 120, 20, 30, 58);
// output: 0
let c = Math.min(-3, 40);
// output: -3
let d = Math.min(-6, -12);
// output: -12
let e = Math.min(4.2, 3.2);
// output: 3.2Math.min() Browser Support
