## Detailed Description

Find the minimum values and their locations.

This function performs the operation across all batches present in the input simultaneously.

## Function Documentation

AFAPI af_err af_imin | ( | af_array * | out,
|  | af_array * | idx,
|  | const af_array | in,
|  | const int | dim
| ) |  |

C Interface for getting minimum values and their locations in an array.

Parameters

  [out] | out | will contain the minimum of all values in `in` along `dim`
  [out] | idx | will contain the location of minimum of all values in `in` along `dim`
  [in] | in | is the input array
  [in] | dim | The dimension along which the minimum value is extracted

Returns
  AF_SUCCESS if the execution completes properly

AFAPI af_err af_imin_all | ( | double * | real,
|  | double * | imag,
|  | unsigned * | idx,
|  | const af_array | in
| ) |  |

C Interface for getting minimum value and its location from the entire array.

Parameters

  [out] | real | will contain the real part of minimum value of all elements in input `in`
  [out] | imag | will contain the imaginary part of minimum value of all elements in input `in`
  [out] | idx | will contain the location of minimum of all values in `in`
  [in] | in | is the input array

Returns
  AF_SUCCESS if the execution completes properly

Note
  `imag` is always set to 0 when `in` is real.

AFAPI af_err af_min | ( | af_array * | out,
|  | const af_array | in,
|  | const int | dim
| ) |  |

C Interface for minimum values in an array.

Parameters

  [out] | out | will contain the minimum of all values in `in` along `dim`
  [in] | in | is the input array
  [in] | dim | The dimension along which the minimum value is extracted

Returns
  AF_SUCCESS if the execution completes properly

AFAPI af_err af_min_all | ( | double * | real,
|  | double * | imag,
|  | const af_array | in
| ) |  |

C Interface for getting minimum value of an array.

Parameters

  [out] | real | will contain the real part of minimum value of all elements in input `in`
  [out] | imag | will contain the imaginary part of minimum value of all elements in input `in`
  [in] | in | is the input array

Returns
  AF_SUCCESS if the execution completes properly

Note
  `imag` is always set to 0 when `in` is real.

AFAPI array af::min | ( | const array & | in,
|  | const int | dim = `-1`
| ) |  |

C++ Interface for minimum values in an array.

Parameters

  [in] | in | is the input array
  [in] | dim | The dimension along which the minimum value needs to be extracted

Returns
  result of minimum all values along dimension `dim`

Note
  `dim` is -1 by default. -1 denotes the first non-singleton dimension.
  NaN values are ignored

Examples:
  bagging.cpp, brain_segmentation.cpp, deep_belief_net.cpp, filters.cpp, image_editing.cpp, integer.cpp, kmeans.cpp, knn.cpp, and rbm.cpp.

T af::min | ( | const array & | in | ) |

C++ Interface for getting minimum value of an array.

Parameters

  [in] | in | is the input array

Returns
  the minimum of all values of `in`

Note
  NaN values are ignored

AFAPI void af::min | ( | array & | val,
|  | array & | idx,
|  | const array & | in,
|  | const int | dim = `-1`
| ) |  |

C++ Interface for getting minimum values and their locations in an array.

Parameters

  [out] | val | will contain the minimum values along dimension `dim`
  [out] | idx | will contain the locations of minimum all values along dimension `dim`
  [in] | in | is the input array
  [in] | dim | The dimension along which the minimum value needs to be extracted

Note
  `dim` is -1 by default. -1 denotes the first non-singleton dimension.
  NaN values are ignored

void af::min | ( | T * | val,
|  | unsigned * | idx,
|  | const array & | in
| ) |  |

C++ Interface for getting minimum value and its location from the entire array.

Parameters

  [out] | val | will contain the minimum values in the input
  [out] | idx | will contain the locations of minimum all values in the input
  [in] | in | is the input array

Note
  NaN values are ignored
