description:

Returns NaN if either argument cannot be converted to a number.

example:

//The smaller of x and y is returned 

//in the following function:

function compute_min(x, y)

{

   return Math.min(x, y)

}

//If x = a and y = 4 the return is NaN

//If x > y the return is y

//If y > x the return is x
