method

Math.min

Math.min(a, b) -> int

Returns whichever of a and b is smaller. It works on plain int values and on fixed values alike — both are stored as signed 32-bit words, so the comparison keeps their order either way. Use it to cap a value at a ceiling, keep a cursor inside a list, or take the nearer of two distances. The bare form min(a, b) is kept as a convenience alias.

Parameters

athe first value

bthe second value

Example

program ClampScore {
  var score: int = 0

  handler AddPoint phase Update {
    score = Math.min(score + 1, 100)   # never climbs past 100
  }
}
