Min - gives the minimum of two integer values math unit
<![CDATA[
function Min ( const A, B : Integer|Int64|Single|Double|Extended ) : Integer|Int64|Single|Double|Extended;
Description
The Min function returns the value of lower of two numeric arguments, A and B.
These arguments may be any of the given numeric types, in any mixture. The result will be normalised to the appropriate value - floating point if either argument is floating point.

Example code : Illustrate integer use of Min
var
int1, int2, int3 : Integer;
begin
int1 := 37;
int2 := 38;
int3 := Min(int1, int2);
ShowMessage('int1 = '+IntToStr(int1));
ShowMessage('int2 = '+IntToStr(int2));
ShowMessage('Min(int1, int2) = '+IntToStr(int3));
end;

int1 = 37
int2 = 38
Min(int1, int2) = 37
Example code : Illustrating Min of mixed number types
var
int1 : Integer;
float1 : single;
begin
int1 := 38;
float1 := 37.5;
float1 := Min(float1, int1);
ShowMessage('Min(float1, int1) = '+FloatToStr(float1));
end;
