MinimumItem (Arraylist function)

Get item that has minimum value (Arraylist class)

[Introduced in Sirius Mods 7.8]

MinimumItem is related to the Minimum Arraylist method, which return the number or name of the item that has the minimum value in an Arraylist.

Syntax

%item = al:MinimumItem[( [itemFunction])]

Syntax terms

%item	An Arraylist item of the same type as the al object.
al	An Arraylist object.
method	A function that operates on the type of the items in the Arraylist. It may be a local method or method variable or a class member (Variable, Property), and it must return an intrinsic (probably Float) value. The default method value is the special identity function, This, which simply returns the item value.

Usage notes

• The optional method parameter lets you further manipulate the Arraylist item values before performing the MinimumItem method's item matching. If your Arraylist items are not intrinsic values, you must specify a method function that can map the item values to intrinsic values or the method will fail.

Examples

For the ArrayList %al whose items are the odd integers between 0 and 10, %al:minItem returns 1.
