# minimumValue

The lowest possible numeric value for the stepper.

```
var minimumValue: Double { get set }
```

## Discussion

Must be numerically less than [`maximumValue`](/documentation/UIKit/UIStepper/maximumValue). If you attempt to set a value equal to or greater than [`maximumValue`](/documentation/UIKit/UIStepper/maximumValue), the system raises an <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Foundation/NSExceptionName/invalidArgumentException> exception.

The default value for this property is `0`.
