The Math.min() method is used to return the lowest-valued number passed in the method. The Math.min() method returns NaN if any parameter isn’t a number and can’t be converted into one. The min() is a static method of Math, therefore, it is always used as Math.min(), rather than as a method of a Math object created.

Parameters: This method accepts as ingle parameter that can be used n number of times as mentioned above and described below:

• value: This values sent to math.min() method for finding the largest.
