These are identical to the min( and max( commands found on
the - v MATH menu.
min( (minimum) returns the smaller of two values or the
smallest element in one list. value can be a real number,
expression, or a list.
If both arguments are lists, they must have the same number
of elements. If one argument is a list and the other a non-list,
the non-list is compared with each element of the list, and a
list is returned.
min(valueA,valueB)
min(list)
max( (maximum) functions exactly like min(, but it always
returns the larger of two values or the largest element in a list.
max(valueA,valueB)
max(list)
For this example, the Decimal mode settings are set to Float.
Compare L1 and L2 to find the min( and max(. L1={1,2,3}, and
L2={3,2,1}.
1. Define L1 and L2 in the List
editor.
