min( ) command or function gives the smallest or minimum element of a vector or matrix or array, after reading this MATLAB min topic, you will know the theory and examples.
Syntax:
min(n)
- n can be any vector or matrix.
Example: To find the smallest element of the vector.
% create a vector n n=[1,2,2,100,5,78] min(n)
Output:
n = 1 2 2 100 5 78 ans = 100
Example: To find the smallest element of each column of the matrix.
% create the 3x3 matrix as n=[1,2,3;1,2,23;4,5,21] min(n)
Output:
n = 1 2 3 1 2 23 4 5 21 ans = 4 5 23
Explanation:
- 1, 2 and 3 is the minimum element of the first, second and third column of the matrix respectively.
