That doesn't seem to be true, unless I'm misunderstanding something. https://go.dev/play/p/ymM0tD3aGYg?v=gotip

Obviously these sample functions don't take into account all the intricacies of float min/max functions.

You can

    const x = min(a, b)

assuming a and b are const.

I can't think of a use case for that. If all the inputs are consts, then you know the values and can just assign it to be the less of a or b. Am I missing something here?

[klodolph]

Const are build-time constants, they are not necessarily the same value across all build configurations.

[onionisafruit]

That’s a good point.

It helps to document intent.

Probably not so useful for min, but it can be more useful for more complex functions.
