min(+ExprList, -Result)
Evaluates the the arithmetic expressions in ExprList and unifies their minimum
with Result.
- ExprList
- A list of arithmetic expressions.
- Result
- A variable or number.
Description
   This predicate is used by the ECLiPSe compiler to expand evaluable
    arithmetic expressions.  So the call to min(ExprList, Result) is
    equivalent to
    Result is min(ExprList)
    which should be preferred.
   In coroutining mode, if the list is only partly instantiated, the
   predicate delays until the list is complete.
Modes and Determinism
Modules
This predicate is sensitive to its module context (tool predicate, see @/2).
Exceptions
- (4) instantiation fault 
- ExprList is a partial list (non-coroutining mode only).
- (5) type error 
- ExprList is not a proper list.
Examples
Success:
      X is min([1,2,3]).    % gives X = 1
      X is min([1,2.0,3]).  % gives X = 1.0
