Min
Function
Gives the minimum of two integer values Math unit
 function Min(const A, B Integer|Int64|Single|Double|Extended):Integer|Int64|Single|Double|Extended;
Description
The Min function returns the value of lower of two numeric arguments, A and B.
 
These arguments may be any of the given numeric types, in any mixture. The result will be normalised to the appropriate value - floating point if either argument is floating point.

Example code : Illustrate integer use of Min
var
  int1, int2, int3 : Integer;
begin
  int1 := 37;
  int2 := 38;
  int3 := Min(int1, int2);

  ShowMessage('int1 = '+IntToStr(int1));
  ShowMessage('int2 = '+IntToStr(int2));
  ShowMessage('Min(int1, int2) = '+IntToStr(int3));
end;

  int1 = 37
  int2 = 38
  Min(int1, int2) = 37
 
Example code : Illustrating Min of mixed number types
var
  int1   : Integer;
  float1 : single;
begin
  int1   := 38;
  float1 := 37.5;
  float1 := Min(float1, int1);
  ShowMessage('Min(float1, int1) = '+FloatToStr(float1));
end;
