template <class T, class Compare>
const T& min(const T& a, const T&, Compare);
Description
The min algorithm determines and returns the minimum of a pair of values. In the second
version of the algorithm, the optional argument Compare defines a comparison function that can
be used in place of the default operator<. This function can be used with all the datatypes
provided by the standard library.
min returns the first argument when the two arguments are equal.
