min function template — Returns the minimum of two values

Synopsis

template<typename T>
  const T& min(const T& a, const T& b);
template<typename T, typename Compare> 
  const T& min(const T& a, const T& b, Compare comp);

The min function template returns the smaller of a and b. If neither is smaller, it returns a.

The first form compares values using the < operator. The second form calls comp(a, b).
