Calculates the minimum of two numbers.
x: the first number, any data type
y: the second number, any data type
The smaller of the two numbers.
sensVal = min(sensVal, 100); // assigns sensVal to the smaller of sensVal or 100 // ensuring that it never gets above 100.
Perhaps counter-intuitively, max() is often used to constrain the lower end of a variable's range, while min() is used to constrain the upper end of the range.
