# min() Returns the minimum element in an asynchronous sequence of comparable elements. ``` @warn_unqualified_access func min() async rethrows -> Self.Element? ``` ## Return Value The sequence’s minimum element. If the sequence has no elements, returns `nil`. ## Discussion In this example, an asynchronous sequence called `Counter` produces `Int` values from `1` to `10`. The `min()` method returns the minimum value of the sequence. ``` let min = await Counter(howHigh: 10) .min() print(min ?? "none") // Prints "1" ``` --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
