Find the smallest value with min

min returns the lowest value among inputs or collection entries. Use it for lower bounds, earliest numeric measurements, and clipping checks.

Example

min(3, 9, -2) is -2. Pair min with max to establish a range, and use abs first when smallest magnitude is intended rather than smallest signed value.

Caveats

Values must be comparable. Clean missing entries with filter, and inspect collection dimensions with size. A minimum can be an outlier, so do not infer typical behavior without median or other context.
