C# | Math.Min() Method - GeeksforGeeks

13 Aug, 2021
In C#, Min() is a Math class method which returns the smaller of the two specified numbers. This method always takes two arguments and it can be overloaded by changing the data type of the passed arguments as follows: 
Math.Min(Byte, Byte): Returns the smaller of the two 8-bit unsigned integers.
Math.Min(Decimal, Decimal): Returns the smaller of the two decimal numbers.
Math.Min(Double, Double): Returns the smaller of the two double-precision floating-point numbers.
Math.Min(Int16, Int16): Returns the smaller of the two 16-bit signed integers. Here Int16 is short data type.
Math.Min(Int32, Int32): Returns the smaller of the two 32-bit signed integers. Here Int32 is int data type.
Math.Min(Int64, Int64): Returns the smaller of the two 64-bit signed integers. Here Int64 is long data type.
Math.Min(SByte, SByte): Returns the smaller of the two 8-bit signed integers.
Math.Min(single, single): Returns the smaller of the two single-precision floating-point numbers. Here single is float data type.
Math.Min(UInt16, UInt16): Returns the smaller of the two 16-bit unsigned integers. Here UInt16 is unsigned short(ushort) data type.
Math.Min(UInt32, UInt32): Returns the smaller of the two 32-bit unsigned integers. Here UInt32 is unsigned int(uint) data type.
Math.Min(UInt64, UInt64): Returns the smaller of the two 64-bit unsigned integers. Here UInt64 is unsigned long(ulong) data type.
Common Syntax for all above methods: 
public static data_type Min(Data_type first_value, Data_type second_value)
Parameter: 
These methods always accept the two parameters of the specified data type.
Return Type: Methods return the minimum of the two numbers which specified into the parameter list and return type is depends on the type of arguments passed.Example: 
CSharp
// C# program to demonstrate the// Math.Min() methodusing System;class GFG { // Main Methodstatic void Main(){         // byte data type    byte b1 = 10, b2 = 15;         // decimal data type    decimal d1 = 1000M, d2 = 1568M;         // double data type    double db1 = 15.896745, db2 = 8.62644598;              // Int16 data type    short sh1 = -96, sh2 = 24;     // Int32 data type    int i1 = 26745236, i2 = 36725413;              // Int64 data type    long l1 = -2534234234234, l2 = -745837587527423;         // sbyte data type    sbyte sb1 = 52, sb2 = 120;         // single data type    float f1 = 8.0f, f2 = 78.78f;         // UInt16 data type    ushort us1 = 5346, us2 = 6437;         // UInt32 data type    uint un1 = 432344637, un2 = 64762738;         // UInt64 data type    ulong ul1 = 34234234, ul2 = 673286478326;          // displaying result    Console.WriteLine("Math.Min Method (Byte, Byte) = " + Math.Min(b1, b2));    Console.WriteLine("Math.Min Method (Decimal, Decimal) = " + Math.Min(d1, d2));    Console.WriteLine("Math.Min Method (Double, Double) = " + Math.Min(db1, db2));    Console.WriteLine("Math.Min Method (Int16, Int16) = " + Math.Min(sh1, sh2));    Console.WriteLine("Math.Min Method (Int32, Int32) = " + Math.Min(i1, i2));    Console.WriteLine("Math.Min Method (Int64, lInt64) = " + Math.Min(l1, l2));    Console.WriteLine("Math.Min Method (SByte, SByte) = " + Math.Min(sb1, sb2));    Console.WriteLine("Math.Min Method (Single, Single) = " + Math.Min(f1, f2));    Console.WriteLine("Math.Min Method (UInt16, UInt16) = " + Math.Min(us1, us2));    Console.WriteLine("Math.Min Method (UInt32, UInt32) = " + Math.Min(un1, un2));    Console.WriteLine("Math.Min Method (UInt64, UInt64) = " + Math.Min(ul1, ul2));         }}
Math.Min Method (Byte, Byte) = 10
