Getting the smallest value out of a list of number

Although this seems very simple, but i am unable to figure it out. Maybe there a component that does the exact thing, but how can i pick a smallest number out of a list of random numbers?

Found it, its using sorting the list using sort list component and then using list item to pick the first or last item depending you want maximum or minimum value

I hope you know that indice -1 in list gives you the last
You can also use a bounds/domain components which output min and max.

The “Bounds” component will give you the minimum and maximum values without the need to sort the list (it’s faster).
