minimum

Compares two arrays element by element and returns a new array where each element is the smaller of the two corresponding values. Both arrays must have the same shape.

Signature

fun <T : Number, D : Dimension> MultiArray<T, D>.minimum(
    other: MultiArray<T, D>
): NDArray<T, D>

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
`other`	`MultiArray<T, D>`	Array to compare against. Same shape required.

Returns: NDArray<T, D> — each element is min(this[i], other[i]).

Example

val a = mk.ndarray(mk[3, 1, 4])
val b = mk.ndarray(mk[1, 5, 2])

a.minimum(b)  // [1, 1, 2]

Pitfalls

Complex types (ComplexFloat, ComplexDouble) throw UnsupportedOperationException.
