min()

public

Returns the object in enum with the minimum value. The first form assumes all objects implement Comparable; the second uses the block to return a <=> b.

a = %w(albatross dog horse)
a.min                                  #=> "albatross"
a.min {|a,b| a.length <=> b.length }   #=> "dog"

static VALUE
enum_min(VALUE obj)
{
    VALUE result[2];

    result[0] = Qundef;
    if (rb_block_given_p()) {
        result[1] = rb_ary_new3(2, Qnil, Qnil);
        rb_block_call(obj, id_each, 0, 0, min_ii, (VALUE)result);
    }
    else {
        rb_block_call(obj, id_each, 0, 0, min_i, (VALUE)result);
    }
    if (result[0] == Qundef) return Qnil;
    return result[0];
}
