## Function 'minimum'

| Use this function to compare two numeric expressions. The value of the mathematically lower expression is returned as result.
| The type of result can be either "Integer" or "Float", depending on the type of the lower expression.
| ### Syntax:
| {INT_VAR|FLO_VAR}= minimum({NUM_EXPR},{NUM_EXPR})
| ### I/O parameters:
| {NUM_EXPR} | First numeric expression.
| {NUM_EXPR} | Second numeric expression.
| - |
| ### Return value:
| {INT_VAR|FLO_VAR} | Integer or float value containing the result of this function.
| ### Example:
| Declaration of Variables
     10 ask(DOCU_FLOAT_1,"Please enter a value!")
     20 ask(DOCU_FLOAT_2,"Please enter a second value!")
     30 DOCU_FLOAT_3 = minimum(DOCU_FLOAT_1,DOCU_FLOAT_2)
     40 put(DOCU_FLOAT_3)
| Result: (For DOCU_FLOAT_1 = 3,25 and DOCU_FLOAT_2 = 9)
| In order to prevent errors, the float/double type must be used if results can be expected to be either very large or very small (<2^-31 or > 2^31).
