note that addition of new files under docs/source/lang/api and docs/source/lang/cpp which were just copies of files in docs/source/lang/ imply that change history is lost to git.

-
-min()
-=====
-
-(Macro) Calculates the minimum of two numbers.
-
-Syntax
-------
-
-::
-
- min(x,y)
-
-Parameters
-----------
-
-**x**: the first number; may be any number or numeric expression.
-
-**y**: the second number; may be any number or numeric expression.
-
-Returns
--------
-
-The smaller of the two numbers.
-
-Example
--------
-
-::
-
- sensVal = min(sensVal, 100); // assigns sensVal to the smaller of sensVal or 100
- // ensuring that it never gets above 100.
-
-
-.. note:: Perhaps counter-intuitively, max() is often used to
- constrain the lower end of a variable's range, while min() is used
- to constrain the upper end of the range.
-
-
-Warning
--------
-
-Because of the way ``min()`` is implemented, avoid using other
-functions inside the parentheses. It may lead to incorrect results::
-
- min(a++, 100); // avoid this - yields incorrect results
-
- a++; // use this instead -
- min(a, 100); // keep other operations outside min()
-
-Arduino Compatibility
----------------------
-
-The Maple version of ``min()`` is compatible with Arduino.
