What's the difference between min and max?

I know the difference between these two words. I have briefly summarized their meanings, pronunciations and usage, so I can get a general understanding first ~ ~

Next, let's look at other differences between min and max:

1.min represents the minimum value and max represents the maximum value, and the two calculations are opposite.

Example:

-The lowest temperature recorded in this city is-10 degrees Celsius.

The lowest temperature recorded in this city is MINUS 10 degrees.

-The maximum load of the elevator is 1000 kg.

The maximum carrying capacity of the elevator is 1000 kg.

2. The minimum and maximum values are often used to find the minimum and maximum values in computer programming.

Example:

-In this algorithm, we need to find the minimum value from the array.

This function helps us find the largest number in a given list.

3.min can be used to represent the minimum value and max can be used to represent the maximum value.

The maximum weight allowance for luggage on this flight is 50 pounds.

The maximum allowable weight of this suitcase on this flight is 50 pounds.

4.min is often used to describe the minimum value under extreme conditions, such as minimizing a certain cost or risk. Max is often used to describe the highest expected return or income.

Example:

5.min is used to represent the worst case and max is used to represent the best case.

Example:
