# matrixbase::GetMin

## Description

Get the minimum cell value in the matrix (as a double).

## Syntax

double GetMin( )


## Return

Returns the minimum cell value in the matrix (as a double).

Note that the missing values in the matrix are excluded from the computation.

## Examples

EX1

// Compute the minimum value of cells of a matrix
void matrixbase_GetMin_ex1()
{
matrix<double> mat1 = {
{-1,  0,  1},
{ 2,  3,  4}
};
// Output of this program will be like following:
//   The minimum value of cells in Matrix1 is: -1 .

MatrixPage MatPg1;
MatPg1.Create("Origin");
MatrixLayer MatLy1 = MatPg1.Layers(0);
Matrix Mat1(MatLy1);
Mat1 = mat1;

double dMin;
dMin = Mat1.GetMin();  // Compute the minimum value by GetMin
printf("  The minimum value of cells in %s is: %g .\n",
Mat1.GetName(), dMin);
}


EX2

// Compute the minimum value of cells of a matrix including NANUMs
void matrixbase_GetMin_ex2()
{
matrix<double> mat1 = {
{99, 0, 1},
{ 2, 3, 4}
};
mat1[0][0]=NANUM;  // set row=1,col=1 to NANUM
// Input matrix is:
//  {--,  0,  1}
//  { 2,  3   4}
//
//   Output of this program will be like following:
//   The minimum value of cells in Matrix1 is: 0 .

MatrixPage MatPg1;
MatPg1.Create("Origin");
MatrixLayer MatLy1 = MatPg1.Layers(0);
Matrix Mat1(MatLy1);
Mat1 = mat1;

double dMin;
dMin = Mat1.GetMin();  // Compute the minimum value by GetMin
printf("  The minimum value of cells in %s is: %g .\n",
Mat1.GetName(), dMin);
}


## Remark

Return the minimum cell value in the matrix (as a double). Note that the missing values in the matrix are excluded from the computation.
