Math Functions: The Minimum Value of a Series |
|
|
|
double __fastcall MinValue(const double * Data, const int Data_Size);
The MinValue() function gets a numeric value that
represents the minimum value of the items of an array. This function takes
two arguments. The first argument, Data, represents an array of integers or
double-precision numbers. The second argument is the number-1 of the items
of the array; for example, if the considered array has 4 members, the
Data_Size argument would be 3.

To use the MinValue() function, declare an
array that involves the necessary numbers. You can initialize such a
variable or request the values from the user. To calculate the minimum
value of a range, supply the array and its size. If you do not know the
dimension of the array, you can use the sizeof operator to find it
out. Here is an example that uses the MinValue() function:
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
void __fastcall TForm1::Button1Click(TObject *Sender)
{
double Values[] = { 12.55, 10.15, 980.22, 50.50, 280.12 };
int Size = (sizeof(Values)/sizeof(double)) - 1;
double Minimum = MinValue(Values,Size);
Edit1->Text = Minimum;
}
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
