### Smaller of Two

`if / else if / else` chooses a branch from boolean conditions. Comparisons such as `<`, `>=`, `===` and logical operators `&&`, `||`, `!` combine the exact rules that decide which output is valid.

const fs = require('fs');
const input = fs.readFileSync(0, 'utf8').trimEnd();
let [a, b] = input.trim().split(/\s+/).filter(Boolean).map(Number);
if (a <= b) {
    console.log(a);
} else {
    console.log(b);
}
