- Class:
Enumerable
min(*args)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"
If the n argument is given, minimum n elements are returned as a sorted array.
a = %w[albatross dog horse] a.min(2) #=> ["albatross", "dog"] a.min(2) {|a, b| a.length <=> b.length } #=> ["dog", "horse"] [5, 1, 3, 4, 2].min(3) #=> [1, 2, 3]
