Parameters | Description | expression | 1. byte – returns byte that is Minimum of two inputs 2. decimal – returns decimal number that is Minimum of two inputs 3. double – returns double-percision floating point number that is Minimum of two inputs 4. int16 – returns 16-bit integer that is Minimum of two inputs 5. int32 – returns 32-bit integer that is Minimum of two inputs 6. int64 – returns 64-bit integer that is Minimum of two inputs 7. sbyte – returns 8-bit signed integer that is Minimum of two inputs 8. single – returns single-percision floating point number that is Minimum of two inputs 9. UInt16 – returns unsigned 16-bit integer that is Minimum of two inputs 10. UInt32 – returns unsigned 32-bit integer that is Minimum of two inputs 11. UInt64 – returns unsigned 64-bit integer that is Minimum of two inputs |

Result Data Type | Description | Depends on input | 1. byte – when input is byte 2. decimal – when input is decimal 3. double – returns double-percision floating point number 4. int16 – returns 16-bit integer 5. int32 – returns 32-bit integer 6. int64 – returns 64-bit integer 7. sbyte – returns 8-bit signed integer 8. single – returns single-percision floating point number 9. UInt16 – returns unsigned 16-bit integer 10. UInt32 – returns unsigned 32-bit integer 11. UInt64 – returns unsigned 64-bit integer |
