# Math.minDouble()

## Signature

`double minDouble (double a, double b)`

## Domain

ACTION, CONDITION, QUERY, BUI

## Description

Returns the smaller of two `double` values. That is, the result is the value closer to negative infinity. If the arguments have the same value, the result is that same value. If either value is NaN, then the result is NaN. Unlike the the numerical comparison operators, this method considers negative zero to be strictly smaller than positive zero. If one argument is positive zero and the other is negative zero, the result is negative zero.

## Parameters

`a` | `double` | An argument.
`b` | `double` | Another argument.
