routine min
Documentation for routine min
assembled from the following types:
language documentation Operators
From Operators
(Operators) infix min
Returns the smallest of the arguments, as determined by cmp semantics.
my = 42;min= 0 # read as: $foo decreases to 0
class Range
From Range
(Range) method min
method min(Range:)
Returns the start point of the range.
say (1..5).min; # OUTPUT: «1»say (1^..^5).min; # OUTPUT: «1»
class Supply
From Supply
(Supply) method min
method min(Supply: = :<cmp> --> Supply)
Creates a supply that only emits values from the given supply if they are smaller than any value seen before. In other words, from a continuously descending supply it will emit all the values. From a continuously ascending supply it will only emit the first value. The optional parameter specifies the comparator, just as with Any.min.
class Any
From Any
(Any) method min
Defined as:
multi method min()multi method min()multi sub min(+args, :!)multi sub min(+args)
Coerces the invocant to Iterable and returns the numerically smallest element; in the case of Hash
es, it returns the Pair
with the lowest value. In sub
form, the invocant is passed as an argument.
If a Callable positional argument is provided, each value is passed into the filter, and its return value is compared instead of the original value. The original value is still the one returned from min
.
say (1,7,3).min(); # OUTPUT:«1»say (1,7,3).min(); # OUTPUT:«7»say min(1,7,3); # OUTPUT: «1»say min(1,7,3,:by( )); # OUTPUT: «7»min( %(a => 3, b=> 7 ) ).say ; # OUTPUT: «a => 3»
