How to define an option of 3 or more alternatives or results so that their corresponding value controls (either maximum or minimum value)

[jrodriguez-9]

Lets say I have such example:

B effective should be the smaller of:   Span L/36     4*depth h   48 in

How can I create such algorithm in Mathcad Prime so it returns a minimum value so it controls (or governs0. In some cases it could be a Maximum value.

Similarly, use "max" to find a maximum.
