Suppose the function f expects two numeric values as its inputs and returns the smaller of the two values as its output value. If w, x, y, and z represent numeric values, what is the result returned by f(f(w,x), f(y,z))?

Supposed statement is

Function f(x) consists of two numeric values as its inputs and returns the smaller of the two values as its output value.

 

The result would be the lowest value of all w, x, y and z.

For example (where: = means assignment and = means comparison)

Assume that numeric values of w, x, y and z as 20, 15, 25, and 30 respectively

 

x: = 20

y: = 15

z: = 25

w: = 30

 

Supposed function = f (f(w, x)), f (y, z))

 

It returns the smallest value in between w, x, y and z. Then the function f(w, x) as f (30, 20) return 20 and If function f(y, z)value is as f(15, 30), then it return 15 and these return values pass in function as f(15,20).

 

From the given statement, function f(15,20)returns the value as 15

f(f(w, x)), f(y, z)) = 15
