### Usage

### Arguments

... | any number of numeric arguments. Missing values (NA) are allowed.
na.rm= | a logical flag. If TRUE, missing values are ignored. The default is FALSE.

### Details

Any NAs in the data produce NA as a result unless na.rm = TRUE.
max and min are members of the Summary group of generic functions.
Value
returns the single maximum (or minimum) value found in the "..." arguments.
Note
pmax and pmin generate a vector of parallel extremes. range computes both max and min.

Examples

    # create some sample objects
    x <- c(1, 2, 3)
    y <- c(4, 5, NA)
    min(na.rm = TRUE, x, y) # returns 1 since na.rm = TRUE
    min(x, y) # returns NA
