MINVAL
— Minimum value of an arrayDetermines the minimum value of the elements in an array value, or, if
the DIM argument is supplied, determines the minimum value along
each row of the array in the DIM direction. If MASK is
present, only the elements for which MASK is .TRUE.
are
considered. If the array has zero size, or all of the elements of
MASK are .FALSE.
, then the result is HUGE(ARRAY)
if
ARRAY is numeric, or a string of CHAR(255)
characters if
ARRAY is of character type.
Fortran 90 and later
Transformational function
RESULT = MINVAL(ARRAY, DIM [, MASK]) |
RESULT = MINVAL(ARRAY [, MASK]) |
ARRAY | Shall be an array of type INTEGER or
REAL . |
DIM | (Optional) Shall be a scalar of type
INTEGER , with a value between one and the rank of ARRAY,
inclusive. It may not be an optional dummy argument. |
MASK | Shall be an array of type LOGICAL ,
and conformable with ARRAY. |
If DIM is absent, or if ARRAY has a rank of one, the result is a scalar. If DIM is present, the result is an array with a rank one less than the rank of ARRAY, and a size corresponding to the size of ARRAY with the DIM dimension removed. In all cases, the result is of the same type and kind as ARRAY.
