You can use Number::min(r : Number) : Number in OCL to return the lower of two numeric values; it is for expressions that must choose the smallest limit, value, or calculation result.
Syntax
self.min(r)| Part | Meaning |
|---|---|
self
|
The first number: the value on which you call min.
|
r
|
The second number to compare with self.
|
| Return value | The lowest of self and r, returned as a Number.
|
Number includes both Integer and Real values. See OCL Number Operators for the available numeric operations.
Examples
12.min(7)The expression returns 7 because 7 is lower than 12.
(-3).min(4)The expression returns -3 because -3 is lower than 4.
You can use min to cap a calculated value at an upper limit. In this example, the result cannot be greater than 100:
CalculatedValue.min(100)If CalculatedValue is 125, the expression returns 100. If it is 80, the expression returns 80.

Use min when you need the lower value. Use Number::max when you need the greater value instead.
