# minimum(_:_:name:)

Returns the elementwise minimum of the input tensors.

```
func minimum(_ primaryTensor: MPSGraphTensor, _ secondaryTensor: MPSGraphTensor, name: String?) -> MPSGraphTensor
```

## Parameters

`primaryTensor`

The LHS tensor of the binary Op.

`secondaryTensor`

The RHS tensor of the binary Op.

`name`

An optional string which serves as an identifier for the operation.

## Return Value

A valid `MPSGraphTensor` object containing the elementwise result of the applied operation.

## Discussion

This operation creates a minimum operation and returns the result tensor. It supports broadcasting as well.

```md
resultTensor = min(primaryTensor, secondaryTensor)
```
