Finding minimum value

I have 4 double variables and I need to find the minimum of them all. I tried using the Math.min (x,y) statement but it only allows me to find the minimum of two numbers. Thanks,
    public static void main(String [] args) {
    double minimum = getMin (4.2, -3.5, 2.1, 1.1);
    System.out.println("The Minimum is: " + minimum);
    public static double getMin (double w, double x, double y, double z)
    double minimum = Math.min(w,x);
    return 0;
    }

which you just grab from the low end.
Sorting the list would be more time consuming than
iterating over it once and returning the smallest
value, as warnerja suggested.I know but it appears that the OP does not want to do any comparisions himself so I was suggesting this.

Hi jyotia,
in this thread you'll find the functions to read the entire content from your excel file. If you have your data as an array in LabVIEW, then you can use the "Array Min&Max" function to get the min index from your column "B". With index array you can read the corresponding value from column "A".

Finding a minimum value in an array without using loops

I can find a minimum value in an array using a loop, but I am unsure of how to do it without any type of of loop
Here is what I have using a loop:
// This method searches for the minimum value in an array
public static int min(int a[]){
int min = a[0];
for(int i = 1; i < a.length; i++){
if(a[i] < min){
min = a;
return min;
How do I covert this to do the same thing, using no loops?
Thank you for replies

How to capture the data within the given range of maximum and minimum values ? from csv files

My requirement,
1. Here, the user will provide the range like maximum and minimum values, based on this range, the VI should capture the data within the given range. ( from CSV file as attached )
2. Then VI should calcluate the average value for captured data and export it to excel.
This is my requirement can anyone help me on this.

Hi,
Thanks for remnding me. I forgt to attach the VI,
Here I am attaching the VI, what I tried.
From attached CSV file, I have to find an average value for columns B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I and AJ, AK. ( data range will be defined by user ), focused only on these columns
Here, the scope is to calculate an average value for given data range by user as MAX and MIN data.
FYI: I tried manually for two instance i.e column H & I. As per H column one steady state values from 7500 to 10500 and similarly in I column 7875 to 10050. So, I gave these as a limit to capture and calculate the average value. But unfortunaltely, requirement has been modified as per below requirements.
More Info on requirement:
--> The user will define the range of data by giving some MAXIMUM and MINIMUM values(for above mentioned columns induvidually), then VI should capture that data range and it has to caculate the average value for that range of data. This is the task I have to complete.
--> I am stuck in creating a logic for data capturing for given range of MAX and MIN value from user,
Can anyone help me on this.
If my explanation is not clear, Please let me know.
Many thanks, help mw

XpauseTarget minimum value

I noticed that in the documentation for jrockit real time 4.0 eval version, the minimum pause target is 10ms. Can this be set lower if I have a license for the product? If so, what is the minimum value for licensed versions of the product? Thanks.

I need to write an algorithm to get a minimum value of an array(or array element), so that I can compare other values with it.You probably guess, that the only way to find the smallest number is, to look at each number and pick the smallest one. :-)

Minimum value validation

this seems like such a novice question I'm embarrassed to post it.
But I've been unable to resolve it or find the answer by searching.
I have a form with number fields and want to specify a minimum value
WITHOUT an upper limit. The validate tab allows me to set a range,
such as 50 - 1000, but I just want it to be over 50.
I've tried placing 50+ or >50 in the "TO" box, but it does not accept this.
I suspect I need a custom validation script but I'm not familiar with doing this.
I'm using acrobat 8. I appreciate any advice, thank you.

Thank you.
I knew it would be so simple that I would feel like a fool.
I had tried this, but leaving the "TO" box blank caused acrobat to insert a 0 which implied to me it would not work, so I never tested it. Following your post, I have now tested it and can confirm it works perfectly.
Thank you very much.

Column having minimum value of two calculated columns

Hi All
Please help me out in the following scenario.
I have to get the data from two tables so whatever columns I need put it in the select statement but for two columns I have to do calculations and did assigned an alias name to those two calculated columns, lets say X & Y.
I have to show the data for column Z, the rule for this column is to take minimum value of columns X & Y.
I have to use purely a select statement and retrieve the data. Camnt do any changes or creating functions on database.
thnaks in advance.

@Sven
First thought is using minimum function and throwed me error and then realized that min function can be used on a column and then searched for function to find minimum of calculated columns, could n't find out.
Then thought of using case or if statement to find out the minimum, felt thats not a good idea and also thought of using nested sub query, could n't achieve the desired.
Actually I didnt know about the least function, now I
Anyway thnak you all.

How do you find the value of an iMac

Just curious how and where to find the value of my iMac 20 inch

Welcome!
Find your exact model from this list:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/index-imac.html
Then click its link. The full specifications have an estimated used price value near the bottom:
There are a lot of 20-inch iMac variants, so you need to at minimum do "About this Mac" to see what it shows for processor speed and type to find your model on the index.
The last update of estimated prices was done last August. Prices on that site tend to be at the top of the range.

Get the minimum value from a cursor

Hi,
i have a cursor that returns the following two columns in a stored procedure. now i want to find the minimum value of SORT NUMBER column .
Can anybody give me an idea.....
create or replace procedure get_min
as
cursor c1 is
select group_number
       , sort_number
from group_table
v_min number;
begin
for c1_rec in c1
select min(c1_rec.sort_number) into v_min ;
end;
GRP_NUMBER            SORT NUMBER
1001                           9978
1002                           9979
1003                           9946   thanks in advance.

OPTION1
I'm guessing your stored procedure loops through the cursor (goes record by record and does something), correct? If it loops through all records, then
1. first define variable which will hold minimum value e.g.
my_min_value number := 0;
2. then add this inside the loop (as you loop through all records, my_min_value will get assign the lowest value)
my_min_value := LEAST(my_min_value, c1_rec.sort_number);
when the cursor is done looping through all records, you get your minimum value
small note: make sure c1_rec.sort_number is not null or you know how null works with least function
OPTION2
if you don't loop through all records (maybe have a condition and stop looping), then you can always change the SQL and add the minimum value to the SQL, there are multiple ways to do this, this is one of them - I hope there is no typo - it's 8pm :-)
select group_number
       , sort_number,
          min(sort_number) OVER ( )
from group_table
OPTION3
get rid of cursor, there are probably 5000 better choices :-)

Hi Vinayak,
     you will be having your first program values in internal table or some variables,
    when you are calling the second program you wii use like this,
    SUBMIT <Second Program Name> USING SELECTION-SCREEN '1000'
                       WITH s_emp(second program select-options)   IN t_emp(first program variables)

                       WITH p_r1    EQ t_r1
                       WITH p_month EQ t_month
                       WITH s_cust1 IN t_cust1

How to get all minimum values for a table of unique records?

I need to get the list of minimum value records for a table which has the below structure and data
create table emp (name varchar2(50),org varchar2(50),desig varchar2(50),salary number(10),year number(10));
insert into emp (name,org,desig,salary,year) values ('emp1','org1','mgr',3000,2005);
insert into emp (name,org,desig,salary,year) values ('emp1','org1','mgr',4000,2007);
insert into emp (name,org,desig,salary,year) values ('emp1','org1','mgr',7000,2007);
insert into emp (name,org,desig,salary,year) values ('emp1','org1','mgr',7000,2008);
insert into emp (name,org,desig,salary,year) values ('emp1','org1','mgr',7000,2010);
commit;
SELECT e.name,e.org,e.desig,min(e.year) FROM emp e,(
SELECT e1.name,e1.org,e1.desig,e1.salary FROM emp e1
GROUP BY (e1.name,e1.org,e1.desig,e1.salary)
HAVING COUNT(*) >1) min_query
WHERE min_query.name = e.name AND min_query.org = e.org AND min_query.desig =e.desig
AND min_query.salary = e.salary
group by (e.name,e.org,e.desig);With the above query i can get the least value year where the emp has maximum salary. It will return only one record. But i want to all the records which are minimum compare to the max year value
Required output
emp1     org1     mgr     7000     2008
emp1     org1     mgr     7000     2007Please help me with this..

Error while setting Minimum value to Input Number Spin Box..

Hai
I drag and drop a VO and created a table.In that table,i convert a column which contain an InputText field to Input Number Spin Box.At the time of page load ,the table fetches the datas from the DataBase and showing Number values in the SpinBox.After that,When i scroll the table through vertical scrollBar,the table showing *"fetching data"* and Error is throwing as *"The value must be Number"* .. In the VO,this attribute is Number.
THIS ERROR ONLY OCCURS when i set the Minimum value of spinBox ..The purpose of setting minimum value is that i only want user to select ve value only..How can i restrict the user for selecting only ve values..?(ie,*How can i set minimum value to SpinBox?)*

Try changing the datatype of your attribute in the EO to be Double instead of Number.

How to populate minimum value

Hi
I have an extractor with 2 primary keys, Indkey and Indcode.
I need to get the minimum value of Indcode and populate the relevant Indkey.
ex, Indkey   Indcode
     IND001    20
     IND002    30
     IND003     40
I only need to get the record IND001 20, populated and not the other two. I am populating these values to a DSO in BW.
How can I acheive this? Please give the algorithm or sample code.
Thanks
