For the <var>ArrayList</var> <code>%al</code> whose items are the odd integers between 10 and 0, <var>MinimumItem</var> returns the value of the item that has the minimum value, while <var>Minimum</var> returns the index (item number) of that item:

			%al is arraylist of float

			printText {~=%al:minimumItem}
