rustHow to get the minimum value of a Rust slice?

The minimum value of a Rust slice can be obtained using the min() method. This method takes a closure as an argument which is used to compare two elements of the slice and return the minimum value.

Example code

let slice = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
let min = slice.min().unwrap();

Output example

Code explanation

• let slice = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];: This line creates a slice containing the values 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
• let min = slice.min().unwrap();: This line calls the min() method on the slice, which returns an Option containing the minimum value. The unwrap() method is used to extract the value from the Option.
