How can we get the minimum element of an array in Swift
Theodore Kelechukwu OnyejiakuOverview
The min() method can be used to get the minimum element of an array.
Syntax
arr.min()
Parameters
arr: This is the array whose minimum element we want to find.
Return value
The value returned is the minimum element of the array. If the array has no element, a nil value is returned.
Code example
// create arrays let evenNumbers = [2, 10, 4, 12, 6, 8] let negativeNumbers = [-1.3, -0.5, 0.002, 4.5] let decimalNumbers = [45.7, 44.2, 90.0, 23.3] // get minimum elements let minEvenNo = evenNumbers.min()! let minNegNo = negativeNumbers.min()! let minDecNo = decimalNumbers.min()! // print results print(minEvenNo) print(minNegNo) print(minDecNo)
