Dyadic (Two-Argument) Form: Minimum A LB
The minimum function result is the smaller of the arguments. The arguments can be
numeric scalars, vectors, or other arrays. The arguments must be the same shape un-
less one of the arguments is a scalar or any single-element array. Arguments of the
same shape have the same shape result:
If one argument is a scalar or a single-element array, the shape of the result is the
same as that of the other argument. The single element is applied to every element
of the multielement array:
a
The I Function: Magnitude, Residue
Monadic (One-Argument) Form: Magnitude I B
The magnifude function result is the absolute value of the argument. The argument
can be a numeric scalar, vector, or other array. The shape of the result is the same
as that of the argument:
If the argument is an array, the function is extended to each of the elements:

Dyadic (Two-Argument) Form: Residue A
I B
The residue function result (when both argument A and argument 6 are positive) is
the remainder when argument 6 is divided by argument A. The following rules
apply when using the residue function:
1. If argument A is equal to zero, then the result is equal to argument 6:
0 I 6
h
2. If argument A is not equal to zero, then the result is a value between
argument A and zero (the result can be equal to zero, but not equal to
argument A). The result is obtained as follows:
a. When argument 6 is positive, the absolute value of argument A is subtracted
from argument 6 until a value between argument A and zero is reached:
3 I 5
2
b. When argument 6 is negative, the absolute value of argument A is added to
argument 6 until a value between argument A and zero is reached:
The arguments can be
numeric scalar, vectors, or other arrays. The arguments must
be
the same shape, unless one of the arguments is a scalar or any single-element
array. Arguments of the same shape have the same shape result:
