min(p1 = v1)
public
Returns the object in ary with the minimum value. The first form assumes all objects implement Comparable; the second uses the block to return a <=> b.
ary = %w(albatross dog horse) ary.min #=> "albatross" ary.min { |a, b| a.length <=> b.length } #=> "dog"
If the n argument is given, minimum n elements are returned as an array.
ary = %w[albatross dog horse] ary.min(2) #=> ["albatross", "dog"] ary.min(2) {|a, b| a.length <=> b.length } #=> ["dog", "horse"]
